title: BeautifulSoup dont search recursive in already found tag
body: <p>I'm working at the moment with wikipedia articles containing lists.</p>
  
  <p>I've got now the article <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archdeacons_in_the_Diocese_in_Europe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">List of Archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe</a>. To get the ul (or table) tags I'm using BeautifulSoup (Python 2.7).
  I discovered that the content of the article is contained by the 'mw-content-text' tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>article = soup.find('div', {'id':'mw-content-text'})
  lists = article.find_all('ul')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So that's how I get the lists and It's working for this example. But there are  articles where a list contains other lists and I don't want BS to track  these sublists. How do I say BS that I don't have to look deeper when It found a tag?</p>
  
  <p>The parameter <em>recursive</em> is NOT what I'm looking for because the list might be in a div tag.</p>
  
  <p>P.S.: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27673644/beautifulsoup-counting-tags-without-parsing-deep-inside-them/27673808#27673808">This</a> user is looking for the same solution but gets not the right answer: "Is there a way to make BS not search recursively into an already found tag?'"</p>
