How to extract or remove elements from BeautifulSoup soup

extract-x.py

# extract (remove) some element from the soup
[s.extract() for s in soup(x)]

# examples

# extract style elements
[s.extract() for s in soup('style')]

# extract script elements

[s.extract() for s in soup('script')]

# retain extracted element
extracted_element = [s.extract() for s in soup(x)]

# remove entire attributes - this seems to work more or less 
# equivalently to the previous approach, as far as I can tell 
# - check the docs to be sure
for tag in soup():
  for attribute in [x1, x2, x3, xn]:
    del tag[attribute]
    
# example
for tag in soup():
  for attribute in ['style','id','class']:
    del tag[attribute]
