You may consider using lxml's cssselect module:
from lxml import html
doc = html.parse("http://some/url/to/parse.html";)
spans = doc.cssselect("div.bluebox > #curcondbox span.b")
print spans[0].text
However, I'd rather go for the other "60.3" value using XPath:
print doc.xpath('//sp...@pwsvariable="tempf"]/@value')
