I have a web scraper that pulls articles from CNN, FOX, and BBC in BeautifulSoup. Then after some preprocessing, I return raw articles to an API. However, I cannot figure out how to completely remove HTML tags that contain an annoying class in Python. I tried lxml cleaner but and I can remove tags, but not only the tags which contain a certain class.

If in this example I am trying to remove "help", I would like a script that would turn HTML that looks like this:

removes a tag from the tree, then completely destroys it and its
contents

for tag in soup.find_all("p", class_="help"):
    tag.decompose()

print(soup.prettify())
