Get an attribute value based on the name attribute with BeautifulSoup

It’s pretty simple, use the following –

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<META NAME="City" content="Austin">')
>>> soup.find("meta", {"name":"City"})
<meta name="City" content="Austin" />
>>> soup.find("meta", {"name":"City"})['content']
u'Austin'
