Trying to understand example to dig the code

[willhelm]

Trying to dig some relevant code,

So I've started by running through this tutorial:
http://blog.dispatched.ch/2009/03/15/webscraping-with-python-and-beautifulsoup/

Yet, first of all not so sure it runs nicely with beautifulsoup4
"fingers crossed." If not I will have to just run it in python 2.7 -
single tear*.

Either way I'm attempting to get the example below to work.

I've only edited the import function as mentioned w/beautifulsoup4
documentation.

Help is always appreciated and I'm hoping to learn as much as I can
before I ask questions, sorry if my awareness on the questions I
should be asking is lacking.

Thank you! *see below.

This is my error:

File "webscraping_demo.py", line 36
print "%s => %s" % (translation[0], translation[1])
^

This is the code:

What error are you getting? This script gives results when I run it.
