Molti metodi, ad es.:

print(soup.title)

<title>Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.</title>

print(soup.get_text())

Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
You didn't write that awful page. You're just trying to
get some data out of it. Beautiful Soup is here to 
help. Since 2004, it's been saving programmers hours or
days of work on quick-turnaround screen scraping 
projects.

find_all()

for link in soup.find_all('a'):
    print(link.get('href'))
