BS4: Get lxml etree from BeautifulSoup object
If I use BeautifulSoup4 with the lxml parser, how can I get the lxml etree object from a BeautifulSoup object?
I would use it to find elements by XPath. BeautifulSoup4 does not support XPath itself

Because I already have the scraper written BeautifulSoup and I won't re-write all those lines of code just for this
