You just have to find some kind of ad hoc search that gets you to where
you want to be. I would try something like this:
anchor = soup.fetch('a', dict(href="/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes"))
code = anchor.findNext('code')
print code.string
Presumably you want this to work for other country pages as well; you
will have to look at the source, see what they have in common and search
on that.
