Extracting An Object

[snippsat]

So my question is, how would I go about only extracting the 12 Aug please?

After using text the parser has done it's job and can not do anymore.
Can try to exclude/remove then span(with 6 days left) tag first,
but can just use regex to get text wanted when parser has done it's job.

>>> import re
>>> 
>>> tag = soup.find('span', class_="nodeexpiry")
>>> tag
<span class="nodeexpiry"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> 12 Aug <span class="marker">6 days left</span> </span>
>>> tag.text.strip()
'12 Aug 6 days left'
>>> 
>>> r = re.search(r'(\d+\s\w+)', tag.text.strip())
>>> r.group(1)
'12 Aug'
