[FIXED] Cannot import Beautiful Soup

Issue

I am trying to use BeautifulSoup, and despite using the import statement:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I am getting the error: ImportError: cannot import name BeautifulSoup

import bs4 does not give any errors.

I have also tried import bs4.BeautifulSoup and just importing bs4 and creating a BeautifulSoup object with: bs4.BeautifulSoup()

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Solution

The issue was I named the file HTMLParser.py , and that name is already used somewhere in the bs4 module.

Thanks to everyone that helped!
