Installing bs4 for python

[TheBean]

I just installed python and then installed. But when I ran the .py file from cmd (windows 10 admin), then I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\scrape.py", line 2, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

I figured bs4 was not installed properly. So, I have tried all sorts of different variations to install it like:

pip3 install bs4
pip3 install bs4 --upgrade
pip3 install BeautifulSoup
pip3 install BeautifulSoup --upgrade
pip install bs4 --upgrade
pip install BeautifulSoup
pip install BeautifulSoup --upgrade

Nothing helped. It still gives me the same error over and over. What should I do to fix this?

 

 

my code in scrape.py

from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup

my_url = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
# open connection to website and grab the page
uClient = uReq(my_url)
page_html = uClient.read()
uClient.close()

#html parsing
page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")

data = page_soup.findAll("span", {"class": "desc swap"})

 

Edit: I tried cmd in admin and powershell. same results

If you had researched it you'd have discovered that the name of the package is beautifulsoup4.

pip install beautifulsoup4

well fuck... doesn't matter anymore. I am using Jsoup instead (java version). I'm more comfortable with java anyway.
