This code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Doesn't work, and gives this error :
raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (self.__class__.__name__,attr)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What should i do ?
You should be using pip to install, so you can simply do
pip install beautifulsoup4
That will install the latest BS4, which is 4.3.1 as of 2013-08-15. It supports Python 3.
Also, if you are using python3, you should use:
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
For Windows...
Go to start menu type cmd right click on cmd icon click run as administrator
then type pip install beautifulsoup4.
It likely will fail to install correctly if you fail to do the above step as even though your windows user is an admin account it does not run all apps as administrator.
Notice the difference if you simply just open cmd without the run as admin.
Remember also when using it like so...
from bs4 import beautifulsoup4
Will not work as it is not correctly formatted.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup4
Will work correctly as it is CaseSensitive.
In your terminal run below code:
pip install beautifulsoup4
If you are using Jupyter notebook run below code in your python file not in terminal.
!pip install beautifulsoup4
if it successfully install you get below output:
Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in
c:\users\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (4.11.1)
Then run your code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

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

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 !
Hi im pretty new to python and im following some tutorials online.
im using the latest version of python 3.6 when i try and import requests or bs4 is says
ModuleNotFoundError, No module named 'requests'
although it is installed i can see it in site packages i used pip to install whatever i seem to do it doesnt seem to be able to find it
here is the code
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import operator
def start(url):
word_list = []
source_code = requests.get(url).text
soup = BeautifulSoup(source_code)
for post_text in soup.findAll('div'):
content = post_text.string
words = content.lower().split()
for each_word in words:
print(each_word)
word_list.append(each_word)
start('http://localhost/budget_app/dashboard.php')
this is the error
ModuleNotFoundError, No module named 'requests'
Run following command on your virtual environment:
sudo pip install requests
Run following command if you have more than one python3.x
python3.6 -m pip install requests
If your facing issue with proxy setting then run below command:
pip install requests --proxy http://<username>:password<password>#<IP>:<port>
--proxy [user:passwd#]proxy.server:port.
I was having the same issue. Despite having the requests packages appeared as installed when I would run the pip install requests and the pip3 install requests. The package would also show as present when running the pip freeze command.
I used the file explorer window to find the location of the library and manually copy and paste the package files from the site-package folder and into it parent Lib directory.
I hope this helps.
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
I did sudo pip install BeautifulSoup4 and got an awfully optimistic response:
Downloading/unpacking beautifulsoup4
Running setup.py egg_info for package beautifulsoup4
Installing collected packages: beautifulsoup4
Running setup.py install for beautifulsoup4
Successfully installed beautifulsoup4
Cleaning up..
but when I try to use import BeautifulSoup4 or from BeautifulSoup4 import BeautifulSoup4 in a script, python says there's no module by that name.
> import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
Update: pip tells me beautifulsoup4 in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages but I'm running 2.7.2+ (and print sys.path sees 2.7 paths) ... so now I need to figure out why pip is putting things in the wrong place.
Try import bs4. It's unfortunate there's no correspondence between PyPI package name and import name. After that the class names are the same as before eg. soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(doc) will work.
If that still doesn't work, try pip install again and note the path to the package install. Then in your python console run import sys and print sys.path to make sure that the path is there.
You might need to explicitly specify pip-2.7 or switch to easy_install (or easy_install-2.7)
Try this:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
I had this issue while using VS Code and the Pylance extension. I was able to resolve it by finding the location of my python packages (in my case it was "c:\python39\lib\site-packages"), and adding that to the external resolution paths in Pylance's settings. Pylance was then able to locate the import. I used below code segment to import BeautifulSoup from bs4.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
After trying the easy_install and pip if things dont work then download the tz package from the package website untar it in a folder. Now open cmd window and go to the directory where you unzip the tz and run the command 'python setup.py install' IT should work
