Printing the next 10 lines after a word is found with BeautifulSoup4
I am doing a loop using Python3 and BeautifulSoup4 and I want to be able to print out the next 10 lines after I found a word in the output. I am using find_all to pull our all the text in the TR tag. I mainly want the text in the TD tag, but what I have seems to be giving me what I want. If I can improve, suggestion are always welcomed
But my first issue is just getting it to print when I found the word I am looking for. If I remove the IF statement, then I can see I am getting all the text I want.
Here is what I have so far.
Thank you

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
url = 'http://www.somewebsite.com'
source_code = requests.get(url)
plain_text = source_code.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, 'html.parser')
for table in soup.find_all('tr'):
if table.text == 'Actuals':
print(table.text)
Thank you
