I have installed BeautifulSoup using easy_install and trying to run following script

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re

doc = ['<html><head><title>Page title</title></head>',
       '<body><p id="firstpara" align="center">This is paragraph <b>one</b>.',
       '<p id="secondpara" align="blah">This is paragraph <b>two</b>.',
       '</html>']
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(doc))

print soup.prettify()

But not sure why this is happening

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\reading and writing xml file from web1.py", line 49, in <module>
    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

Could you please help. Thanks

Answer

Try this from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

This might be a problem with Beautiful Soup, version 4, and the beta days. I just read this from the homepage.
