How to distinguish between two identical tags when using BeautifulSoup?

Question

Hello everyone, how are you? I have a question when using the BeatifulSoup library. When I need to check two identical tags can I distinguish them by the class name? I have tried the following:
soup.select_one("span[span-class-name]").text
However, this command returns me a None object and consequently an attribute error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'
I've also tried the following, but it's another method that returns a None object:
soup.findAll("span[span-class-name]")
The tag I'm trying to access is as follows:
<span class="span-class-name">Some-String</span>
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In BeautifulSoup 4 it’s find_all.
First parameter is the element and second is dictionary of attributes.
soup.find_all(”span”, {”class”: ”span-class-name”)
