无法在python中导入beautifulsoup

Question

I'm using Python.7.10 and have installed beautifulsoup using pip. The package was installed successfully. But when I'm trying to import beautifulsoup, I'm getting this error:

ImportError: No module named beautifulsoup

I checked the list of my installed modules and I found the beautifulsoup module in the installed modules list:

Answer 1

You installed BeautifulSoup version 3; the module is called BeautifulSoup with capital B and S :

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

See the Quickstart documentation .

You really want to upgrade to BeautifulSoup 4. BeautifulSoup 3 was discontinued in 2012.

To install version 4, use:

pip install beautifulsoup4

and import bs4 :

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Do study the project documentation before continuing however.
