Using
xpath() method of ElementTree you could query all td elements without span child like this:from lxml import html
html_text = """<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
</head>
<body>
<tr>
<td><span class="number blue">xx</span></td>
<td>001</td>
<td>002</td>
</tr>>
</body>
</html>"""
et = html.fromstring(html_text)
spans = et.xpath('//tr/td/span[@class="number blue"]')
print(spans[0].text)
for e in et.xpath('//tr/td[not(span)]'):
print(e.text)
