ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

Question

I have installed BeautifulSoup using easy_install and trying to run following script

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re

doc = [\'         


        

Answer 1

you can import bs4 instead of BeautifulSoup. Since bs4 is a built-in module, no additional installation is required.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

doc = ['',
       '
This is paragraph one.',
       '
This is paragraph two.',
       '']
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(doc))

print soup.prettify()

If you want to request, using requests module. request is using urllib, requests modules. but I personally recommendation using requests module instead of urllib

module install for using:

$ pip install requests

Here's how to use the requests module:

import requests as rq
res = rq.get('http://www.example.com')

print(res.content)
print(res.status_code)
