Python/BeautifulSoup - how to remove all tags from an element?

Question

How can I simply strip all tags from an element I find in BeautifulSoup?

Answer 1

You can use the decompose method in bs4:

soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup('I linked to example.com')

for a in soup.find('a').children:
    if isinstance(a,bs4.element.Tag):
        a.decompose()

print soup
