I have installed both Python 3.5 and Beautifulsoup4. When I try to import bs4, I get the error below. Is there any fix for that? Or should I just install Python 3.4 instead? Please be very explicit - I am new to programming. Many thanks!

Update: Starting with 4.4.0, BeautifulSoup
is compatible with Python 3.5. Upgrade:
pip install --upgrade beautifulsoup4
Old answer:
Because of the changes made for Deprecate strict mode of HTMLParser issue:
Issue #15114: the strict mode and argument of HTMLParser, HTMLParser.error, and the HTMLParserError exception have been removed.
I'm afraid beautifulSoup4
is not compatible with Python 3.5 at the moment. Use Python 3.4.
