You need to use _ before a in soup.findall

my_inputs = soup.find_all('input')

OR

>>> my_inputs = soup.findAll('input')
>>> for in_put in my_inputs:
        print in_put.name , in_put['value']


input ovL2FuaW1lZGlnaXRhbG5ldHdvcmsuZZXgucGhwL2Nvbm5leGlvbg==
input 1

This is a typo.

You meant to use find_all() instead of findall().

FYI, it didn't fail with AttributeError here because the dot notation in BeautifulSoup has a special meaning - soup.findall is basically shortcut to soup.find("findall"). In other words, it tried to find an element with findall name, failed and returned None. This is how you've got 'NoneType' object is not callable.
