Need to isolate an element

[Sven CAILTEUX]

HTML CODE :

<li id="mycard-2" class="businessCard">

      <span class="number">2</span><!--  -->

        <div class="visitCardContent">

    <h2 class="titleMain">

   <a href="http://myurlsite.com" class="companyName"><span>The New Company</span>

                        &nbsp;

                        <span class="buttonMoreDetails">+&nbsp;details</span>

                    </a></h2>

        </div>

</li>

I'm a newbie with beautifulsoup, so sorry in advance for my question.

 
I would like to isolate "The New Company" and only this, actually I got this :

"The New Company

+details"

with this code

print item.find_all("a", {"class": "companyName"})[0].text

I've tried a lot of things without success

Thx in advance :)
