I am trying to install BeautifulSoup to my Python 3.4 on my Windows 8.1. I have already set the PATH to pip folder. Then I run this command:
pip install BeautifulSoup
but i get this error:
How can i fix that?
This is because BeautifulSoup package maps to BeautifulSoup 3rd version which is not maintained anymore and doesn't support Python3. Quote from it's PyPI page:
This package is OBSOLETE. It has been replaced by the beautifulsoup4
package. You should use Beautiful Soup 4 for all new projects.
You need to install the beautifulsoup4:
pip install beautifulsoup4

when I write bs4 on vs code it said
Import bs4 could not be resolved from source
and it has a yellow underline
and I tried to write in the terminal install beautifulsoup4 many times but it didn't work
Use pip install beautifulsoup4 to install the package with pip.

I am learning Django and I was working with bs4 in PyCharm on mac. I am using Python3 with Django which also has bs4 installed and it can be seen below.
But when I run the project, it throws me an error saying bs4 does not exist which can be seen below.
I have tried a lot of ways and it couldn't get it to work. Help
You are running the script with Python2.7 (according to the traceback) while having beautifulsoup4 package installed in Python3.5 environment.
Adjust your run configuration to use Python3.5 to run the script.
ok first thing, in your python 3 environment you have installed bs4, but in your python 2.7, you probably do not have. As you can see in your attached second screen, django is running on python 2.7.
I recommend using virtual environment, where you can have all of your dependencies personalized for single project. In fact, every project you are working on, should have its own separate virtualenv.
You've installed wrong Beautiful Soup package. The one that you installed is bs4
This is a dummy package managed by the developer of Beautiful Soup to prevent name squatting. The official name of PyPI’s Beautiful Soup Python package is beautifulsoup4.
The one that you need to install is beautifulsoup4. Which you should get with pip install beautifulsoup4 and not pip install bs4
I have both Python 2.7.11 and Python 3.4.1 installed on my Windows 8.1 system. I had installed BeautifulSoup4 with pip to run a code (not mine). However, pip automatically installed bs4 to Python 3.4.1. (I checked that it was installed in C://Python34/lib/site-packages/bs4)
I have use the command prompt, change directory to C:\Python27 (where Python 2.7 is installed), and pip install bs4 from that directory, but it didn't work. I had copied the bs4 folder from Python 3.4, but it didn't work either. It only gave another Import Error: No module named html.entities.
How can I install bs4 on Python 2.7? Thanks in advance.
I guess you can run pip2 install bs4 and pip3 install bs4 to install them separately on different python versions
I am using python ver 3.3. I am trying to access the requests.get() method. But I am not able to access this because in my
import requests
It is showing module not found. How can I install this for the code to work properly?
install it from pypi repository using pip:
pip install requests
Don't forget to be root or admin!!
I'm struggling to get BeautifulSoup installed on Windows. So far, I have:
downloaded BeautifulSoup to "My Downloads".
unzipped/ extracted it in the downloads folder.
At the command prompt, I ran:
C:<path to python33> "C:path to beautiful soup\setup.py" install
The process generated the messages:
running install
running build
running build_py
**error: package directory 'bs4' does not exist.**
Yet, in the path to BeautifulSoup in quotes above, there is indeed the folder bs4. What am I missing?
You need to be in the directory containing setup.py to run it. Make sure your working directory is correct.
I had a similar problem. In my case, I was able to get pip to work, but first I had to look up the right name for the package:
wrong: pip install bs4
fail
wrong: pip install beautifulsoup
fail
right: pip install beautifulsoup4
Successfully installed beautifulsoup4
I had same problem when tryingo to export my wordpress blog to jekyll with this tutorial.
My first step was to install pip with success & next try to install BeautifulSoup with it:
pip install bs4 # failed
pip install BeautifulSoup # that was succes
But... 2nd line install BeatifulSoup3, not most recent version 4...
So I've uninstalled bs3:
pip uninstall BeautifoulSoup # with success
Downloaded most recent bs4 from this site & installed it manually within command/mingw:
cd %bs4-download-dir%
python setup.py install
And now everything is OK :)
For clean install without pip nor easy_install :
Your paths
(change it by your paths)
Your python path : c:\Python27\python.exe
Your beautyfulsoup path : c:\BeautifulSoup
Instruction to follow for clean installation :
cd c:\BeautifulSoup
"c:\Python27\python.exe" setup.py install
Have fun and share !

Make sure the batch file you used to run "python" "\beautifulsoup4-4.3.1\setup.py" install is in the same directory as "\beautifulsoup4-4.3.1\setup.py"
