BeautifulSoup `find_all` generator

Question

Is there any way to turn find_all into a more memory efficient generator? For example:

Given:

soup = BeautifulSoup(content, \"html.parser\         


        

Answer 1

The simplest method is to use find_next:

soup = BeautifulSoup(content, "html.parser")

def find_iter(tagname):
    tag = soup.find(tagname)
    while tag is not None:
        yield tag
        tag = tag.find_next(tagname)
