Since cognitive processes are challenging for Python programmers, this is pretty much what the (not great idiom in) the appropriately-acronym'd BS 4 text => get_text() does (https://github.com/wention/BeautifulSoup4/blob/03a2b3a9d1fc5877212d9d382a512663f24c887d/bs4/element.py#L846-L854). There are FAR BETTER WAYS to get text than this, but I would not expect Python things to grok that.
