how to get text from within a tag, but ignore other child tags

by

You can get the div text just not recursively retrieving the children texts:

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<div><b>ignore this</b>get this</div>')
>>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False)
u'get this'

This works independently of the position of the text with respect of the children:

>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<div>get this<b>ignore this</b></div>')
>>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False)
u'get this'
