To replace the inner text of a tag in Beautiful Soup, use the replace_with(~) method.
Example
Consider the following HTML document:
my_html = """ <p>Alice</p>"""soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)
To replace the text "Alice" with "Bob":
<p>Bob</p>
Here, we're tapping into the string property available to all Tag objects.
