[The following long string has been wrapped.]

Like you, I struggle with BeautifulSoup; but perhaps this will help
while waiting for somebody smarter to join the thread:

>>> soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(
... """<tr align="center"><th width="5%">"""
... """<a onclick="t('Only|G|BoT|05','#1');" href="#">#1</a>"""
... """</th><td width="10%">44.4MB</td><td width="90%" align="left">"""
... """<font color="orange"> Pc-prova.rar </font></td></tr>""" )
>>> tr = soup.findAll( 'tr' )
>>> tr[0].findAll( text = True )
[u'#1', u'44.4MB', u' Pc-prova.rar ']
>>> c = tr[0].findChild( attrs={"onclick": True} )
>>> print c[ "onclick" ]
t('Only|G|BoT|05','#1');
