The error message is telling you that the file setup.py that you're trying to run is missing. That would seem to indicate that Beautiful Soup hasn't been downloaded or unzipped correctly. What do you have in the Beautiful Soup directory? Also, use Python 3.4 as Terry Reedy suggested, unless the book is using 2.7 in which case you should probably use the same version as the book. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
