Beautiful Soup [Python] and extracting text into a table

I'm new to Python and the Beatiful Soup! I heard about BS. They say that this is a great tool for analyzing and extracting content. So here I am ...:

I want to take the contents of the first td table into an html document. For example, I have this table

<table class="bp_ergebnis_tab_info">
    <tr>
            <td>
                     This is a sample text
            </td>

            <td>
                     This is the second sample text
            </td>
    </tr>
</table>

How can I use beautifulsoup to take the text “This is a sample text”? I use soup.findAll ('table', attrs = {'class': 'bp_ergebnis_tab_info'}) to get the whole table.

Thanks ... or should I try to get all the material with Perl ... that I am not familiar with. Another soltion will be a regular expression in PHP.

renderContents() :

text = first_td.renderContents()

trimmed_text = text.strip()

This is a sample text
