Why do I get an ImportError when I try to import the beautifulsoup module? Can somebody help, please-CodePudding

When I use the code "from bs4 import beautifulsoup as bs" I get the following ImportError: ImportError with a directory: cannot import name 'BeautifulSoup4' from 'bs4' (C:\Users.........anaconda3\lib\site-packages\bs4_init_.py)

CodePudding user response：

Have you already installed beautifulsoup4 module?? if not please firstly install the module..

pip install beautifulsoup4

CodePudding user response：

Make sure that module is already installed.

>>> import bs4

If the module is not installed, you will seethis error ModuleNotFoundError

Traceback (most recent call last):

Import the module correctly..
