Get text of elements but separate with spaces

Question

I'm grabbing text data from a webpage and when I use .text it has all the elements combined. However, I want to separate some of them with a space.

For example, I have this text:

data=['<span class="sub-title title-block"><span class="nowrap">1.2</span><span class="nowrap">TEKNA</span></span>',
'<span class="sub-title title-block"><span class="nowrap">Amr</span><span class="nowrap">V12 5.2</span></span>',
'<span class="sub-title title-block"></span>']

When I do the following:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
for i in data:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(i, 'lxml')
    for d in soup:
        print(d.text)

I get:

1.2TEKNA
AmrV12 5.2

But I want the expected output:

1.2 TEKNA
Amr V12 5.2

where I get each text separated between each other.

You can use get_text(<sep>) method and define your custom separator as below:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

data=['<span class="sub-title title-block"><span class="nowrap">1.2</span><span class="nowrap">TEKNA</span></span>',
'<span class="sub-title title-block"><span class="nowrap">Amr</span><span class="nowrap">V12 5.2</span></span>',
'<span class="sub-title title-block"></span>']

for i in data:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(i, 'lxml')
    for d in soup:
        print(d.get_text(" "))

Output:

1.2 TEKNA
Amr V12 5.2
