I keep on getting a traceback whether I use bs4, beautifulsoup4 or BeautifulSoup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named 'BeautifulSoup'
On terminal I get
Peters-Mac-mini:~ admin$ pip install beautifulsoup4
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): beautifulsoup4 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/site-packages
Cleaning up...
This is the first time that I am attempting to use BeautifulSoup, but I have never experienced this error with other installations. Don't know how to get out of it! I have not seen this problem amongst the Stack Overflow posts.
You need to import from bs4, not BeautifulSoup.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Module names is not always the same in each versions.
This would help.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
If you a want cross platform style of importing BeautifulSoup
You could do like this:
try:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
except ImportError:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

Is anyone else receiving a moduleNotFoundError with their requests library? Not sure why this is happening. The library is installed as well which is even more confusing.
import csv
from datetime import datetime
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
and the resulting error was this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In [1], line 4
2 import csv
3 from datetime import datetime
----> 4 import requests
5 from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
when i run pip freeze I can confirm I have requests installed as well, see below:
Screenshot from my terminal
I have requests version requests==2.28.1
Most likely, you don't have the requests module installed. Run the following command:
pip install requests to install the package.
corrected the error by referencing this question (i didnt see it when I first searched)
running sudo pip3 install requests and it recognized the library now.
I have tried the below code in google colab but it gives an error which i have also shown below
!pip install beautifulsoup4
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages (4.6.3)
from beautifulsoup4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) in ()
----> 1 from beautifulsoup4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'beautifulsoup4'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.

Than i also tried
!apt install BeautifulSoup4
E: Unable to locate package BeautifulSoup4
!apt install BeautifulSoup
E: Unable to locate package BeautifulSoup
I have also tried the above commands without exclamation mark (!). other packages were installed but beautifulsoup4 is not installing neither it is allowing to import.
I appreciate if someone can guide me regarding this.
for importing BeautifulSoup use that one:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
there's usual case a different package naming while installing and the step of importing/using
Instead of
from beautifulsoup4 import BeautifulSoup
Try out
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
! pip install bs4
It worked very well in Google colaboratory.
In my program i used from bs4 import BeatifulSoup, and i get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Noahs program\python black hat\retrievescreenshot.py", line 2, in <module>
from bs4 import BeatifulSoup
ImportError: cannot import name BeatifulSoup
I installed bs4 from the command line with pip.exe from python 2.7.15.
pip install bs4
I have tried pip install beautifulsoup4 and it said installation allready satisfied.
pip install beautifulsoup4
then you will be able to import it
You have a typo in your import... It should be:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup #<-- not BeatifulSoup
I have switched from Pycharm to using Sublime Text, and importing/installing beautifulsoup4 and requests, (I will probably have the same problem with other modules) seems rather complicated.
I've tried installing them both by typing the followling in my terminal
sudo pip install requests
and the same for beautifulsoup4 (I have pip installed).
When I, in terminal, type
python
and then
import requests
and
from bs4 import beautifulsoup4
It says for requests:
ImportError: No module named requests
and for soup:
ImportError: cannot import name beautifulsoup4
What am I doing wrong? I haven't even tried doing anything in Sublime Text yet.
cannot import name beautifulsoup4
means that you are trying to this:
from bs4 import beautifulsoup4
instead of:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I downloaded BeautifulSoup.
Then I upgraded pip:
pip install --upgrade pip
Then, installed BS:
pip install beautifulsoup4
It seems like everything worked fine, but now when I run these three lines of code:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
import csv
I get this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"C:\Users\rshuell001.spyder2\temp.py", line 1, in
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
I'm using Anaconda-Spyder
What am I doing wrong?
I think it should be: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup.
