I installed beautifulsoup4 on my mac but when I tried to import the module in spyder, it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'beautifulsoup'
I have tried importing it with:
import beautifulsoup4
import beautifulsoup
from bs4 import beautifulsoup
import bs4
etc...
I have also tried reinstalling the module in terminal and it says that it is already installed.
I have also checked that it was installed in python 3.9 which is the same version Spyder says it is using on my computer.
I am so confused please help! Where is this module
Update: I think I need a separate environment so I tried to download miniconda but when I try to install it it says that it can't install because I already have it but when I run any conda command in terminal it says command not found so I don't know how to get miniconda
You should check your code. The tutorials I see (there are many online) all import beautifulsoup this way (casing matters - the B and the S are upper case!):
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Example:
https://beautiful-soup-4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#making-the-soup
Python version: 3.9.5
pip version: 21.1.1
BeautifulSoup4 version: 4.9.3
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
with open('home.html', 'r') as html_file:
content = html_file.read()
print(content)
I have been trying to use the BeautifulSoup4 library but it just won't work. In vscode, it shows the indication that bs4 is there when I do CTRL+click on bs4 written in Code. But it still gives ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
I have installed it properly with pip3 as shown in the below screenshot
The version of python I am using in VS Code is shown in below Image
Just a side note. I also used some other packages such as Camelcase and that one worked fine. Idk why this one is not working properly. I couldn't find any proper related solution for it in the existing solutions for it.
I had python3 installed 2 times.. 1 from the Windows store and the other from python exe file. python3 command referred to windows installed python3 and python referred to exe file installed python3. BeautifulSOup installed via pip3 was linked to the python command instead of python3 so that was the reason it wasn't working.
after checking for paths of python and python3 everything got clarified and the problem solved thanks to the hint given by #Y.R in the comments section of the main post.
Every single dependency I try to install results in a ton of troubleshooting before I can get IDLE to recognise that it's installed.
I'm on a Mac, and I'm using the Terminal's pip install. I also have two versions of IDLE – one for Python 2, the other for 3.
pip install says "beautifulsoup" is installed
pip3 install says "beautifulsoup" is installed, and yet it doesn't appear that IDLE knows that it is.
I've tried "import beautifulsoup4, import beautifulsoup, from bs4 import beautifulsoup..."
Why is this happening for every dependency I install?
It's not beautifulsoup or Beautifulsoup
Try this from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
I have spent the past 45 minutes hopelessly trying to run:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
But to no avail. I have tried the commands:
python -m pip install beautifulsoup4
where it says:
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages
I have tried:
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
where it says the same.
I have tried:
pip install beautifulsoup4
Same thing.
I have looked all over stackoverflow, youtube, I am driving myself insane trying to figure this out. I have no idea what to do, please help me.
When I try to run my program main.py with the following code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
With py -3 main.py, I get the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
Please please please please help me.
I have tried the method proposed at BeautifulSoup4 can't be installed in python3.5 on Windows7 but to no avail.
Now there is beautifulsoup4 for Python 3.6.
It's the same, am using it this way on my webcrawl project.
Just add the beautifulsoup4 module to the project. Then try the line
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
As of now the module is not getting loaded to python3.6 Try This
python3.6 -m pip install beautifulsoup4
I went through something similar but managed to install BeautifulSoup4. I tried running the commands suggested but none of it worked. So here's what I did.
On the command prompt, I decided to try running the commands on the python scripts directory
cd C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
then
pip3 install BeautifulSoup4
You should see something that says
Collecting BeautifulSoup4

Hope this helps.
Just install:
pip3 install bs4 --user
Import in code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
res = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(res.content,"html.parser")
Just install this instead: https://anaconda.org/ (This is what we use at work to manage imports).
It's basically Python with the top 100 modules all installed. The only downside is size (300 MB).
The problem is that while it installed beautifulsoup4 and several libraries are not supported on Python 3.6 at the moment.
You have two options. You can either use a virtual environment like Anaconda or virtualenv as Alan suggested. Here you will make an environment and set the python version to 3.5
The other option is to uninstall python 3.6 and install 3.5 and then beautifulsoup4
I was getting this same error on a mac and the problem stemmed from using Python 2.7.10 when I thought I was using 3.7.
python test.py
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named bs4
However when I was explicit about what python version I wanted to use everything worked. So on the terminal use python and then your version number. Example my version is 3.7:
python3.7 test.py
Thanks noobninja,
As for extending Python 3.8 to BeautifulSoup4, only using ANACONDA worked with me (using MAC OS).
Download Anaconda for Mac OS (more than 2 GB)
In terminal: test Anaconda installation:
$ conda list
$ conda install beautifulsoup4
Run Python3 shell
type : from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
No error message !
I am a brand new linux user using linux mint sarah and I just installed python 3.5 as well as BeautifulSoup to do some web scraping.
However, when I type in the following command I receive a traceback error:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
The error tells me that there is no module bs4.
I have also tried:
import bs4
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import beautifulsoup
This is weird because if I go into terminal and give the command pip list, it shows me a list of all my programs and it states that I have beautifulsoup4 (4.5.1)
I successfully used pip in the same exact way to install a module called requests and it was successful.
One thing that I think may be getting in the way is that Linux mint comes with python 2.7 installed and my modules are going into a 2.7 folder which seems odd. (However, the requests module that I can successfully use is in the same folder as the BeautifulSoup4 module)
I must admit I have not tried easy_install because it gives me some error about the directory not existing when I try to install BeautifulSoup4 that way.
I'm muddying the waters too much so I will leave it at that. Hopefully, somebody can help me figure out whats going on so that people who have this problem in the future can benefit.
Thanks!
You need to install BeautifulSoup4 for Python 3.5.
Option 1:
Download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py file to server.
Run python3 get-pip.py
Run pip3 install beautifulsoup4
Option 2:
Download https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4 to server.
Extract tar.gz: tar -xvzf beautifulsoup4-4.5.1.tar.gz
Go to folder: cd beautifulsoup4-4.5.1/
Install from source: python3 setup.py install
