I have python 2.7.2 and it does not like class in the code you provided. Now when I take out [ class="date"], this is returned: [<span class="date">March 5, 2014</span>, <span class="date">March 5, 2014</span>] This is the code I am using: "data = soup.find_all(name="span") print (data)" 1. it returns today's date instead of the actual date 2. returns it twice -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
