ImportError: No module named bs4?

I try to import library: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup.

When I run script I get error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "index.py", line 9, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named bs4
root@srvr [/home/public_html/grabber/similar]#

When I try install:

pip install beautifulsoup4

I get the following error:

Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.5.1-py2.6.egg

Script is:

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages')
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

If you use Pycharm, go to preferences - project interpreter - install bs4. If you try to install BeautifulSoup, it will still show that no module named bs4.

If you try this on Mac OS X do the following:

  1. Go to the official website: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
  2. Download the .tar.gz package
  3. Unpack it
  4. Go to the unpacked folder
  5. Type: python setup.py install

You installed BeautifulSoup for Python 2.6, but according to your tag, you are using Python 3.x. To install explicitly for Python 3, use pip3 instead of pip, i.e.

pip3 install beautifulsoup4
