On Ubuntu 14 04 I installed it from apt-get and it worked fine   sudo apt-get install python-beautifulsoup  Then just do   from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

you can import bs4 instead of BeautifulSoup  Since bs4 is a built-in module  no additional installation is required   from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import re  doc      lt html gt  lt head gt  lt title gt Page title lt  title gt  lt  head gt             lt body gt  lt p id  firstpara  align  center  gt This is paragraph  lt b gt one lt  b gt              lt p id  secondpara  align  blah  gt This is paragraph  lt b gt two lt  b gt              lt  html gt    soup   BeautifulSoup    join doc    print soup prettify     If you want to request  using requests module  request is using urllib  requests modules  but I personally recommendation using requests module instead of urllib  module install for using       pip install requests   Here s how to use the requests module   import requests as rq res   rq get  http   www example com    print res content  print res status code
