How to skip a tag when using Beautifulsoup find_all?

I want to edit an HTML document and parse some text using Beautifulsoup. I'm interested in <span> tags but the ones that are NOT inside a <table> element. I want to skip all tables when finding the <span> elements.

I've tried to find all <span> elements first and then filter out the ones that have <table> in any parent level. Here is the code. But this is too slow.

for tag in soup.find_all('span'):
    ancestor_tables = [x for x in tag.find_all_previous(name='table')]
    if len(ancestor_tables) > 0:
        continue

    text = tag.text

Is there a more efficient alternative? Is it possible to 'hide' / skip tags while searching for <span> in find_all method?

The number of nodes and edges I calculated manually and by a method provided by networkx library dont match

I am trying to analyse a graph using networkx library in Python. I have implemented a function that returns the nodes and edges of that graph. After that I counted the number of nodes and edges by implementing the len() function for nodes and edges, which gave me 17 for both nodes and edges. However, when I used the method graph.number_of_nodes() of networkx library it gave me 53. My code: import pandas as pd import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt header_list = ["a","b","w"] E =pd.read_csv("aves-barn-swallow-contact-network.edges",sep=" ",header= None,names=header_list) # print(E.head()) # prints first few rows of the csv file G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(E,"a","b",["w"]) nx.draw(G) plt.show() class GraphAnalyse: #finding nodes and edges def nodeEdge(self,Graph): nodes = Graph.nodes() edges = Graph.edges() ...
