[FIXED] Why am i getting "NameError: name 'bs4' is not defined" error while trying to import BeautifulSoup?

Issue

> soup=bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.Text, "xml")

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-14-ad3307f493a7>", line 1, in <module>
    soup=bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.Text, "xml")

**NameError: name 'bs4' is not defined**

How can i fix this problem? I'm trying to make an application with BeautifulSoup.

Solution

You have to import bs4 first (assuming you have installed bs4), i.e.

> import bs4
> soup=bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.Text, "xml")
