Almost right. attrs should normall be a dict so {'class':'dataTable
tm10'} but you can use a shortcut, read on.

The tag you are looking for is table not td. The tag td is inside the
table tag. So with shortcut it looks like,
table = soup.find("table","dataTable tm10")
or without shortcut,
table = soup.find("table",{'class':'dataTable tm10'})
