BeautifulSoup not working cannot import name 'BeautifulSoup' from partially initialized module 'bs4'

I keep getting error when trying to import Beautiful Soup:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: cannot import name 'BeautifulSoup' from partially initialized module 
'bs4' (most likely due to a circular import)

How to resolve it?

Try renaming python file that you working on from bs4 to something else. Maybe you named some other file in same directory bs4 so you must change it !

I recently had the similar issue and was able to fix it by force reinstalling the package:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall beautifulsoup4
