Dealing with a colon in BeautifulSoup CSS selectors

[Alexander Afanasyev]

Referencing this StackOverflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34553622/dealing-with-a-colon-in-beautifulsoup-css-selectors

Input HTML:

    <div style="display: flex">
        <div class="half" style="font-size: 0.8em;width: 33%;"> apple </div>
        <div class="half" style="font-size: 0.8em;text-align: center;width: 28%;"> peach </div>
        <div class="half" style="font-size: 0.8em;text-align: right;width: 33%;" title="nofruit"> cucumber </div>
    </div>

Trying to use the following CSS selector:

    div[style="display: flex"]

But getting:

    NotImplementedError: Only the following pseudo-classes are implemented: nth-of-type.

Tried to escape it with a backslash or use \3A instead - nothing worked

----

What is the correct way to use/escape a colon in attribute values in BeautifulSoup CSS selectors?

Thank you.

Fixed in revision 415.

For the record, the issue was the space in the selector, not the colon.
