Beautiful Soup's find_parent(~)
method returns the parent of a particular tag (or string).
Parameters

The name of the tag to return.
2. attrs
| string
| optional
The tag attribute to filter for.
3. string
| string

The string to search for (rather than tag).
Examples
Consider the following HTML document:
my_html = """<div> <p id="alex">Alex</p> <p class="Bob">Bob</p> <p id="cathy">Cathy</p></div>"""soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html, "html.parser")
To find the parent of the string 'Bob'
:
bob_string.find_parent()
<p class="Bob">Bob</p>
We can see that the <p class="Bob">Bob</p>
tag is the parent tag of the string 'Bob'
.
