To get all immediate children in Beautiful Soup, use the find_all(recursive=False) method.
Example
Consider the following HTML document:
my_html = """ <div id="root"> <p>Alex</p> <div> <p>Bob</p> <p>Cathy</p> </div> </div>"""soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)
To get all immediate children:
Notice how the size of the returned list is 2 since the root div has 2 children.
As a side note, if we did not include recursive=False parameter:
[<p>Alex</p>, <div><p>Bob</p><p>Cathy</p></div>, <p>Bob</p>, <p>Cathy</p>]
The return size of the returned list is 4 because there are 4 tags under the root div.
