    You can use something like the following:

    >>> import bs4
>>> blah = '<div id="test"><p>one</p></div><div id="okay"><p>something</p></div>'
>>> soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(blah)
>>> soup('div', {'id': 'test'})[0].extract()
<div id="test"><p>one</p></div>
>>> soup
<html><body><div id="okay"><p>something</p></div></body></html>
