title: Extract Text from HTML Python (BeautifulSoup, RE, Other Option?)
body: <p>I am familiar with BeautifulSoup and Regular Expressions as a means of extracting text from HTML but not as familiar with others, such as ElementTree, Minidom, etc.</p>
  
  <p>My question is fairly straightforward. Given the HTML snippet below, which library is best for extracting the text below? The text being the integer.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td class="tl-cell tl-popularity" data-tooltip="7,944,796" data-tooltip-instant=""&gt;
  &lt;div class="pop-meter"&gt;
  &lt;div class="pop-meter-background"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="pop-meter-overlay" style="width: 55%"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
