Supposing I have an html string like this:

<html>
    <div id="d1">
        Text 1
    </div>
    <div id="d2">
        Text 2
        <a href="http://my.url/">a url</a>
        Text 2 continue
    </div>
    <div id="d3">
        Text 3
    </div>
</html>

I want to extract the content of d2 that is NOT wrapped by other tags, skipping a url. In other words I want to get such result:

Text 2
Text 2 continue

Is there a way to do it with BeautifulSoup?

I tried this, but it is not correct:

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc, 'html.parser')
s = soup.find(id='d2').text
print(s)
beautifulsoup python
