Answer 1

Probably should have posted as answer.. so as stated in the comments almost verbatim

Your code should be the following:

for div in body: 
    print div.text
    #python3
    #print(div.text)

Or some naming schema to your preference thereof.

The find_all method returns a generated list ( loosely using the term list here ) of items that beautifulsoup has found matching your criteria after parsing the source webpages html either recursively or non-recursively depending upon how you search.

As the error says the resulting set of objects has no attribute text, since it isn't an element but rather a collection of them. However, the items inside the resulting set ( should any be found ) do.
