Contents of Attribute - BeautifulSoup

I am trying to pick up the price attribute in the below html:

<html><body><p>[<meta content="60.00" itemprop="price"/>]</p></body></html>

I am using the beautifulsoup library in python3.

Below is my current code. However i have tried many iterations of things using the docs.

soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'lxml')
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(str(price), 'lxml')
for element in soup.find_all():
            print(element ["content"])

Currently the above code just prints out the same html line again.

The result i am trying to achieve is using the 'content' attribute, which isn't always 'content' but in this case it is, and retrieving the value of 60.00.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can try it.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html_doc ="""<html><body><p>[<meta content="60.00" itemprop="price"/>]</p></body></html>"""

soup= BeautifulSoup(html_doc, 'lxml')
price = soup.find("p").meta['content']

print(price)

Output will be:

60.00

since your <meta content="60.00" itemprop="price"/> not containing any other decimal value, you can use this code :)

import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """<html><body><p>[<meta content="60.00" itemprop="price"/>]</p></body></html>"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
x = soup.findAll(name = 'meta')
print(re.sub('[^0-9,.]', '', str(x)))

Output will be : 60.00
