Hello,

I am using Windows 10
Using Python 3.7
and trying to install BeautifulSoup 4.4.6


Python works from a command prompt and also works from Eclipse 


I looked at some Youtube videos on how to install bs4 - and in their examples all was good.  Except, I am using more recent versions....
But when I try to install bs4...having some issues.  Suggestions?  Help?

Thanks for your patience!


Stuff that went sideways....
