Under Python 2.7.2, I've installed BS4 (beta 9), lxml and html5lib but
get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\....py", line 22, in <module>
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 29, in
<module>
from .builder import builder_registry
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\builder\__init__.py", line

from .import _htmlparser
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\builder\_htmlparser.py",
line 7, in <module>
from html.parser import HTMLParser
ImportError: No module named html.parser

Any thoughts?

You've got the Python 3 version of the code. How did you install BS4?

This works for me. Can you uninstall beautifulsoup4, then install it
again with the --log option, and send me the log?

Do you have Python 3 installed at all?
