No module named BeautifulSoup (but it should be installed)

Question

I downloaded BeautifulSoup.
Then I upgraded pip:

pip install --upgrade pip

Then, installed BS:

pip install beautifulsoup4

It seems like everything worked fine, but now when I run these three lines of code:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
import csv

I get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\rshuell001.spyder2\temp.py", line 1, in from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

I'm using Anaconda-Spyder

What am I doing wrong?

Try `from bs4 import BeautifulSoup` http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#quick-start — Colonel Panic, Oct 22 '15 at 17:18

I think it should be: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup.
