ImportError: No module named bs4

[Jason Rudin]

I'm sure this isn't the first time this error has come up, but I've been looking through the forums and things still aren't working. Here's what I'm doing:

 ~ $ pip install beautifulsoup4

Collecting beautifulsoup4

  Using cached beautifulsoup4-4.6.0-py2-none-any.whl

Installing collected packages: beautifulsoup4

Successfully installed beautifulsoup4-4.6.0

~ $ python

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named bs4

the module is getting successfully installed, because when I run pip freeze, one of the outputs is:

beautifulsoup4==4.6.0

I'd really appreciate your help, thanks!

This should work!

>>> import bs4
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Jason, I got the same problem. Did you solve the problem yet? I have spent a day on settling this issue, but it didn't work. Can you tell me your solution?

I got the same problem. Unfortunately Mickie's solution didn't work for me.
