Beautifulsoup(html) Not Working, Saying Can't Call Module?

import urllib2 import urllib from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup # html from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup # xml import BeautifulSoup # ever

Solution 1:

Your import BeautifulSoup makes BeautifulSoup refer to the module, not the class as it did after from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup. If you're going to import the whole module, you might want to omit the from ... line or perhaps rename the class afterward:

from BeautifulSoup importBeautifulSoupSoup= BeautifulSoup
...
import BeautifulSoup
....
soup = Soup(html)

Solution 2:

@Blair's answer has the right slant but I'd perform some things slightly differently, i.e.:

importBeautifulSoupSoup= BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup

(recommended), or

importBeautifulSoupfromBeautifulSoupimportBeautifulSoupasSoup

(not bad either).

Solution 3:

Install BeautifulSoup4 sudo easy_install BeautifulSoup4

Recommendation from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
