BeautifulSoup, where are you putting my HTML?

Question

I\'m using BS4 with python2.7. Here\'s the start of my code (Thanks root):

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2

f=urllib2.urlopen(\'http://yify-torr

I had the same problem and this solved my problem:

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html5lib')

You need to install html5lib:

pip install html5lib

or

easy_install html5lib
