BeautifulSoup is not defined

[gecon]

I think I have sussessfully installed pip

then installed lxml using  pip install lxml

then installed requests using pip install requests

I have also dowloaded beautifulsoup4-4.3.2 and extracted it

I have successfully ran python setup.py install

done pip install beautifulsoup4

I have added C:\Python\Scripts in the Environment variables

However when I write from bs4 import beautifulsoup4/BeautifulSoup, I get syntax error

It says that from is not recognized as an internal or external command

also when I do

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content), it says that name BeautifulSoup is not defined 

Guys please help me out with this

thanks

What you have to do is "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup", but if I understand what you said correctly, you actually did "from bs4 import beautifulsoup4/BeautifulSoup", which is incorrect. 

Also, after installing pip, doing just "pip install beautifulsoup4" should work, as pip will also install any dependencies. 

I do not have Windows, but did you try running this command directly at a command prompt? That wouldn't work, you have to create a .py file.

Thanks for this -> "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup"!

It was driving me crazy that I couldn't find BeautifulSoup after installing it with pip.
