Find an HTML element using BeautifulSoup by partial text
I have to find all paragraph that contains a specific partial text.
I find to find it that way
Whole text in paragraph is
"Open Until: Tuesday November 20, 2018, // 4:00 pm MST"
There is always a new date each time, so i have to give partial text like
element = soup.findAll("p",text="Open Until")

You haven't shared the relevant html elements for that portion, so it is hard to provide you with any solution. However, text="Open Until" doesn't work that way. It only looks for the full text not partial. Try like below instead.
for item in soup.find_all("p"):
if not "Open Until" in item.text:continue
print(item.text)
