Menu
I've researched this question but haven't seen an actual solution to solving this. I'm using BeautifulSoup with Python and what I'm looking to do is get all image tags from a page, loop through each and check each to see if it's immediate parent is an anchor tag.
Here's some pseudo code:
html = BeautifulSoup(responseHtml)
for image in html.findAll('img'):
if (image.parent.name == 'a'):
image.hasParent = image.parent.link
Any ideas on this?

To get all parent tags of a tag in Beautiful Soup, use the Tag. parents property, which returns a generator for iterating over the parent tags.
BeautifulSoup has a limited support for CSS selectors, but covers most commonly used ones. Use select() method to find multiple elements and select_one() to find a single element.
You need to check parent's name:
for img in soup.find_all('img'):
if img.parent.name == 'a':
print "Parent is a link"
Demo:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>>
>>> data = """
... <body>
... <a href="google.com"><img src="image.png"/></a>
... </body>
... """
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(data)
>>> img = soup.img
>>>
>>> img.parent.name
a
You can also retrieve the img tags that have a direct a parent using a CSS selector:
soup.select('a > img')
