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?

I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from.

What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
