Thanks, I had no idea about either option, since I don't use the
command prompt very much. Needless to say, the Linux console is much
nicer :)

Hmph, I suppose I should have more patience. I realized that the

Alright, I'm simply lost about how to install these modules. I
extracted the folders from the .tar.gz files and then went into those
folders in my command prompt. I typed:

gz stands for gzip and is a form of compression (like rar/zip ).

Ok, first major roadblock. I have no idea how to install Beautiful

I've read, I can use the easy_setup module to install these types of

seemed to support Python 2

After a bit of reading, I've decided to use Beautiful Soup 4, with
lxml as the parser. I considered simply using lxml to do all the work,
but I just got lost in the documentation and tutorials. I couldn't
find a clear explanation of how to parse an HTML file and then
navigate its structure.

Thanks. I'm thinking the choice might be between lxml and Beautiful
Soup, but since BS uses lxml as a parser, I'm trying to figure out the
difference between them. I don't necessarily need the simplest
(html.parser), but I want to choose one that is simple enough yet
powerful enough that I won't ha
