Hi,

Nothing major but if you do an update for bug fixes at some point.

It throws an error when running Pystemon. ERROR: Cannot import the BeautifulSoup 3 Python library. Are you sure you installed it?

This is due to the import being: from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

BS4 uses: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

Thanks,

Actually, it's because pystemon requires BS3, not version 4. The new, python3, version will definitely use BS4... Thanks for the remark though

TheRealBards commented 6 years ago

Sorry, it's just that the requirements.txt installs bs4

PyYAML
BeautifulSoup4

oh OK. Well, the current version is now using BS4 so that's fixed :-)
