Activate the virtualenv  and then install BeautifulSoup4     pip install BeautifulSoup4   When you installed bs4 with easy install  you installed it system-wide  So your system python can import it  but not your virtualenv python  If you do not need bs4 to be installed in your system python path  uninstall it and keep it in your virtualenv   For more information about virtualenvs  read this
