print(list(soup.find('p','story').contents))

['Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>, ',\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, ' and\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>, ';\nand they lived at the bottom of a well.']

print(list(soup.find('p','story').descendants))

['Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>, 'Elsie', ',\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, 'Lacie', ' and\n', <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>, 'Tillie', ';\nand they lived at the bottom of a well.']

Selected children and descendants tag names can be obtained using the name attribute. Parsed strings and the \n function (newline) are returned as None, which can be filtered out, as in the following code:

#using List Comprehension Technique

print([a.name for a in soup.find('p','story').children])

[None, 'a', None, 'a', None, 'a', None]
