Beautifulsoup multiple class selector

Question

I want to select all the divs which have BOTH A and B as class attributes.

The following selection

soup.findAll(\'div\', class_=[\'A\', \'B\'])
         


        

Answer 1

You can use CSS selectors instead, which is probably the best solution here.

soup.select("div.classname1.classname2")

You could also use a function.

def interesting_tags(tag):
    if tag.name == "div":
        classes = tag.get("class", [])
        return "A" in classes and "B" in classes

soup.find_all(interesting_tags)
