Get HTML values in python

I am kinda new to python so please cut me some slack. I have a webpage that has a specific tag that I would like to get the value from. Is there some sort of python library I can use to get the value of that tag? Thank you.

If it is valid xml, you can use xml.etree.ElementTree. If not, the preferrable way to deal with html is BeautifulSoup

import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(your)
print soup.find('span')[0].contents

Something like that i believe
