Hi, everyone.

How can I get the attribute of a tag using BeautifulSoup?

I was trying this:

Code:

from calibre.ebooks.BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup

snippet = "<section xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops" epub:type="epigraph">"

soup = BeautifulSoup(snippet)
tag = soup.contents[0]

if 'epub:type' in tag.attrs:
   epub_type = tag['epub:type']

But it doesn't work. The condition is being evaluted as false.

How should I look for the attribute?
