HTML is organized as a tree, so all tags have a parent, except the root tag.

Is there a way to put what I grab (for example, dict(name='img', attrs={'id':'img-holder'})) and put a tag around that?

You're going to need to look at
Beautiful Soup then go back to the code I gave you.
I took a look at your site. The parent of your img tag is the body tag. You can use that tag or play with the next sibling and previous sibling tags. You can't just tell BS to put the img inside another tag. You can create a p tag (with "Tag") and you can put your found img tag inside it, but now it's no longer in your page. It's hanging free and that p tag with the img inside it needs to be put into a tag in the tree forming your page. You'll need to use insert or replaceWith from BS to do that. Study the code I gave you, then study the BS docs at the link above to see how it's done. I suspect you'll come to understand why this is a pain to solve, and that's where we started.
