Answer 1

it is class_ because class is reserved keyword

table = soup.find('p', attrs={'class':'info'})

table = soup.find('p',class_='info'})

Use text attribute it concatenates all text inside the tag

string attribute will not working if it contains another tag inside it

print (', '.join(i.text for i in rows)) # For getting text 

Answer 2

Once you resolve the class problem, as explained in the other answer, you still have to extract strings from the tags:

result = ', '.join(r.string for r in rows)
print(result)
#Kranji Mile Day simulcast races, 
# Kranji Racecourse, SIN, Class 3 Handicap   -  1200M TURF, Saturday, 26 May 2018, Race 1, 5:15 PM

Answer 3

Hm - in python3 this works fine for me if you just quote 'class' in this line

table = soup.find('p', attrs={'class':'info'})
                          ^

though the output will be the ... elements rather than just the text. Do you want the elements or only the text?
