I have this structure:
<span class="_1p7iugi"> <span class="_krjbj">Price:</span>$39</span>
and I want to get only the $39, but when I do this code:
def getListingPrice2(listing):
return listing.find("span", {"class":"_1p7iugi"}).text
It returns me:
Price: $39
How can I get only the part I want?

Interesting question
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
mainSoup = BeautifulSoup("""
<html>
<span class="_1p7iugi">
<span class="_krjbj">Price:</span>$39</span>
</html>
""")
external_span = mainSoup.find('span')
print("1 HTML:", external_span)
print("1 TEXT:", external_span.text.strip())
unwanted = external_span.find('span')
unwanted.extract()
print("2 HTML:", external_span)
print("2 TEXT:", external_span.text.strip())
will get you
1 HTML: <span class="_1p7iugi"> <span class="_krjbj">Price:</span>$39</span> 1 TEXT: Price:$39 2 HTML: <span class="_1p7iugi"> $39</span> 2 TEXT: $39
so
def getListingPrice2(listing):
outer = listing.find("span", {"class":"_1p7iugi"})
unwanted = outer.find('span')
unwanted.extract()
return outer.text.strip()
will get you
$39
