I have BeautifulSoup instaled - Blue Dog - Nov-03-2016

when I try to run a piece of script with this in it ( from bs4 import BeautifulSoup) Sad

I get this error: ImportError: No module named bs4 Huh

I have it installed see:

c:\Python2.7>pip install beautifulsoup4
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): beautifulsoup4 in c:\p
ython3.5\lib\site-packages

Why can't I make this work. It will not run in 2.7 or 3.5?
Thank you
P.S. I have made My first email scraper, all my own code. Thank you all for your help.

If you want to install in to Python2.7,navigate to Scripts folder(pip is placed here).

Output:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install beautifulsoup4

Then it use pip for Python2.7 and install to 2.7

Quote:Requirement already up-to-date: bs4 in c:\python3.5\lib\site-packages

Then it should work in Python 3.5?
Test it's 3.5 for you.

C:\>python

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<p>Hello</p>', 'html.parser')
>>> soup.find('p').text
'Hello'

Will you tell what I just did, it worked.
How did that scrip make it work? Smile

RE: I have BeautifulSoup instaled - Larz60+ - Nov-03-2016

pip is designed to run for one version of python only.

What happened is that when you run pip without a qualifier (path),
it will use the system default python which is set up as an environment variable, or is in your path.

When you switch to the scripts directory, you have the local copy of pip that is tied to the
version of python containing that (scripts) directory, so it will install for that version

Maybe you had wrong import before.
You can look at tutorials i have here.
