Beutifulsoup: how to pick text that's not in HTML tags?

[Larz60+]

If I knew the url of your site, I would have used it for example,
for this, I use https://www.weather.gov/

load the web site into chrome or firefox.
highlight the text you are interested in and right click
choose inspect element, move cursor in inspect over text node:

<strong>Travel date:</strong>&nbsp;2019.10.10<br>

right click --> copy --> XPath
paste into code like (your xpath will be dfferent):

xpath = '/html/body/div[5]/div/div[4]/p/a[2]'

Now run code like:

from lxml import html
import requests
import sys


def get_stuff():
    page = None
    response = requests.get('https://www.weather.gov/')
    if response.status_code == 200:
        page = response.content
    else:
        print("c'ant load page")
        sys.exit(-1)
    
    tree = tree = html.fromstring((page))
    # replace with your xpath
    node = tree.xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/p')
    text = node[0].text.strip()
    print(text)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    get_stuff()

results:

Output:
A slow moving storm system will bring a continued threat for heavy snow over the Rockies, heavy rain, flooding,and severe weather over the Plains into midweek. Over the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Michael is expected tostrengthen into a hurricane and cause direct impacts to the northeast Gulf Coast by midweek. Heavy rain from Michael could once again impact the Carolinas late week.
