Almost right. attrs should normall be a dict so {'class':'dataTable
tm10'} but you can use a shortcut, read on.

OK, got the very basic case to work when using Beautiful Soup 3.0.7a and
scraping the Weather Underground Lite page. That gives me the current
temperature, etc. Good.
But now I would like the average temperature from, say, yesterday. I am again
having trouble finding elements in the soup.

having trouble understanding what I'm doing. I have searched the archives and
so far haven't found enough to get me moving forward.
Basically I am trying to start off this example:
