title: Python count number or letters on scraped page
body: <p>I'm making requests in Python with <code>requests</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I then use <code>bs4</code> to select the wanted <code>div</code>. I now want to count the length of the text in that div, but the string I get out of it includes all the tags too, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a class="some_class"&gt;Text here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to only count the <code>Text here!</code>, without all the <code>div</code> and <code>a</code> tags.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any idea how I could do that?</p>
