title: BeautifulSoup - adding attribute to tag
body: <p>Question for you here, I'm trying to add an attribute to a tag here, wondering if I can use a BeautifulSoup method, or should use plain string manipulation.</p>
  
  <p>An example would probably make this clear, as it's a weird explanation.</p>
  
  <p>How the HTML Code looks now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;option value="BC"&gt;BRITISH COLUMBIA&lt;/option&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How I would like it to look:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;option selected="" value="BC"&gt;BRITISH COLUMBIA&lt;/option&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help!</p>
