Regular Expression

[DeaD_EyE]

Regex is not a good tool to parse HTML. I can't find the source, but someone mathematically proofed, that HTML is not parsable by regex.

You could use BeautifulSoup to parse HTML.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


def transform(element) -> dict[str, str | int]:
    """
    Transforms the attributes of the element.
    width and height are converted to int, if they exist.
    name of tag and stripped text of tag is also added to the dict.
    """
    attributes = element.attrs
    to_int = ("width", "height")
    for key in to_int:
        if key in attributes:
            attributes[key] = int(attributes[key])

    return attributes | {"text": element.text.strip(), "name": element.name}


def get_img(html) -> list[dict[str, str | int]]:
    return [
        transform(element)
        for element in BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser").find_all("img")
    ]


text = """

result = get_img(text)

pprint.pprint(result, indent=4)

Output:
