bs4 missing?

[mfreeman72]

I'm trying to run your script, and I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 3, in <module> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup ImportError: No module named bs4

I'm running Linux Mint 18.

I have the package python-beautifulsoup installed. Is there something else I need?

Hi, yeah I have this problem with Python sometimes. I have a module installed but it is not running it. I have found two common reasons for it:

1) The package name might be a bit different like “import bs4” or “import beautifulsoup” or “import BeautifulSoup4” etc

2) The second problem is sometimes I have to “force” python to look in a particular folder to find it, like with,

import sys

reload(sys)

sys.path.append("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages")

sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages")

I’m not sure which of the two problems you might be having J let me know how you get on please!!

Thanks for the help! I replaced bs4 with BeautifulSoup, and it worked.

Now for the next problem: The streams won't play. I believe it's due to my lack of understanding on how the script handles login information. Could you please give tell me the syntax and location(s) for entering my login/password into the script?

Thank you!

Never mind. I figured it out, and now the script works great! Thanks!
