BeautifulSoup - extract table but not using ID

[jonesin1974]

Hi,

I am scraping data from a web page but none of the items have an ID. I'm struggling to find an example so here goes...

The table looks like such:

Output:
<table style = " border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellPadding="0" summary="Transactions statistics summary table"  class="750WidthClass" >
<tr  bgcolor="330066" >
        <td id="LraTransaction Name&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Transaction Name&nbsp;</span></td>
<td id="Status" class="table_header" vAlign="top" width="80"><span class="Verdana2">SLA Status</span></td>        <td id="LraMinimum&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Minimum&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraAverage&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Average&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraMaximum&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Maximum&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraStd. Deviation&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Std. Deviation&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="Lra80 Percent&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">80 Percent&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraPass&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Pass&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraFail&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Fail&nbsp;</span></td>
        <td id="LraStop&nbsp;" class="table_header_for_html_report" vAlign="top"><span class="Verdana2">Stop&nbsp;</span></td>
</tr>
</table>

All examples online point to using ID. But that doesn't exist.

There are several tables on the page but to uniquely identify the one above, I'd want something like:

find/findall in table. Unique identifier: summary="Transactions statistics summary table"

for each row in the table, extract values. Unique identifier: class="Verdana2">

I want to retrieve the values:
Transaction Name 
LraMinimum 
Average 
Maximum 
Std. Deviation 
80 Percent 
Pass 
Fail 
Stop 

Hope that makes sense?

Cheers,
J
