Consider the following HTML document:


        
        
            
                
                
                    my_html = """
      <p>Alice is great</p>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)

To replace the name of the tag from p to b:


        
        
            
                
                
                    el = soup.find("p")
el.name = "b"
el
                
            
            <b>Alice is great</b>
