Answer 1

You have corrupted your BeautifulSoup installation:

  File "D:\Python\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\bs4\element.py", line 160, in <module> 
    workbook.close()

That is not BeautifulSoup code; see the actual bs4.element source code .

You appear to have replaced the regular element.py file in that package with one that writes an Excel worksheet (using the xlsxwriter package). You'll have to remove the whole bs4 directory and reinstall BeautifulSoup.
