Support for Beautiful soup 4 #7

Closed kmskrishna closed 8 years ago

kmskrishna commented 8 years ago

With the release of Beautiful Soap 4 the import function is changed.

If you have Beautiful Soap 3 and run XSSER you will get an error like

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/xsser", line 24, in <module>
    from core.main import xsser
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xsser-1.6-py2.7.egg/core/main.py", line 35, in <module>
    from core.dork import Dorker
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xsser-1.6-py2.7.egg/core/dork.py", line 27, in <module>
    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

Most code written against Beautiful Soup 3 will work against Beautiful Soup 4 with one simple change. All you should have to do is change the package name from BeautifulSoup to bs4

The changes are described in this website http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#porting-code-to-bs4. I am able to successfully run XSSER with out any issues.
