Hi Ian, thank you for your help. Yes that is the book by Vineeth J Nair. At the top of page 12, at step 1 it says :
1.Download the latest tarball from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/b/beautifulsoup4/. So yes, the version the book is dealing with is beautiful soup 4. I am using Pyhon 2.7, I have removed Python 3.4. Also on the bottom of page 10, Mr Nair states: Pick the path variagble and add the following section to the Path variable: ;C:\PythonXY for example C:\Python27 Which tells me that the Python version cited in the book must be 2.7 I downloaded beautiful soup 4 last night. I unzipped it with 'Just unzip it' to a folder I called Beautiful Soup, the same as I did with the previous beautiful soup download. The console return is as below, showing that I am now facing the same conundrum as yesterday, before changing my version of Beautiful Soup. re: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
