Answer 1

I had the same problem with eclipse on windows 10.

I installed it like recommende over the windows command window (cmd) with:

C:\Users\NAMEOFUSER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\beautifulsoup4-4.8.2\setup.py install 

BeautifulSoup was install like this in my python directory:

C:\Users\NAMEOFUSE\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\beautifulsoup4-4.8.2-py3.8.egg

After manually coping the bs4 and EGG-INFO folders into the site-packages folder everything started to work, also the example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


html = """
    
        
            
 Ich bin ein Absatz!
        
    
"""
print(html)


soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

print(soup.find_all("p"))
