I have removed the original Beautiful Soup 4 download, that I had unzipped to 
my Beautiful Soup directory on the C drive. 
I downloaded the latest version of Beautiful Soup 4 from the Crummy site. 
I unzipped it, and removed the contents of the unzipped directory and placed 
contents in my Beautiful Soup directory, and again had the same output to my 
console re:

I have made a note of all the contents of the downloaded and unzipped BS4,ie 
the contents of my Beautiful Soup folder on the C drive, which is as follows:

running install
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'bs4' does not existinit

I can see no bs4 folder within the contents.
 I can not see any setup.py file either, but this is how I downloaded it.
I am only following instructions as suggested.
I do not understand why it is not working.
I hope someone can direct me in the right direction, as I seem to be stuck, and 
I don't think it has much bearing on my fluency or lack of it with Python.
