No, Python's BeautifulSoup doesn't support XPath selectors despite supporting lxml backend which can perform XPath queries.
To use XPath selectors either lxml or parsel packages must be used.
parsel is a modern wrapper around lxml which makes xpath selections very easy:
python
from parsel import Selector
selector = Selector(text='<div class="price">22.85</div>')
print(selector.xpath("//div[@class='price']/text()").get())
"22.85"Alternatively, lxml can be used directly:
python
from lxml import html
tree = html.fromstring('<div class="price">22.85</div>')
print(tree.xpath("//div[@class='price']/text()"))
"22.85"
