Installing Beautifulsoup4 Via Pip Produces An Import Error For Python 3.5

I'm trying to install beautifulsoup4 for Python 3.5, however, I've made it to when I call 'import bs4' to test in the Python 3.5.2 shell, I receive the error below: Traceback (mos

Solution 1:

Somehow a python2 version of of bs4 was installed into your python3 directory. In order to fix that you coult manually fix it by removing all bs4 files in C:\Users\Dan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\ (the bs4__init__.py file and also the bs4 subdirectory)

If you now do a pip install bs4 then pip thinks it has bs4 already installed so you need to do this:

pip install bs4 --ignore-installed
