Get an attribute value based on the name attribute with BeautifulSoup

I want to print an attribute value based on its name, take for example <META NAME="City" content="Austin"> I want to do something like this soup = BeautifulSoup(f) # f is some HTML containing the above meta tag for meta_tag in soup("meta"): if meta_tag["name"] == "City": print(meta_tag["content"]) The above code give a KeyError: 'name', I believe this is because name is used by BeatifulSoup so it can't be used as a keyword argument.
It's pretty simple, use the following: >>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup >>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<META NAME="City" content="Austin">') >>> soup.find("meta", {"name":"City"}) <meta name="City" content="Austin" /> >>> soup.find("meta", {"name":"City"})['content'] 'Austin'
