html parser

bsOb = BeautifulSoup(html.read())
print(bsObj.h1)

You define a variable named bsOb, but try to use one named bsObj. Those are not the same thing. I don't understand why these aren't the same - is it simply because I typed it wrong? Or are they two separate things that do two separate things?

BeautifulSoup(YOUR_MARKUP, "html.parser")
#snip
bsOb = BeautifulSoup(html.read, html.parser)

The message is very literal. html.parser isn't a thing that exists anywhere, but instead the string "html.parser" is a string that always exists.Is this something I should always use? If so, why? What does it do for me?

I truly appreciate your time and patience with me and your ability to break things down so I can understand them! Thank you!

you should also use the requests module to get the html

Can you tell me how using the requests module helps me the html? I appreciate your help!
