I have downloaded lxml and beautifulsoup4 using pip3 install and both were successful. I have tried uninstalling and installing multiple times, but nothing is working. My beautifulsoup4 works fine, but lxml has not worked once since I downloaded it.
My script starts off with the following import statements which all work fine:
import requests
from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import lxml
Then begins the code:
base_url = 'http://www.nytimes.com'
r = requests.get(base_url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "lxml")
My error message is as follows:
Mathews-MacBook-Pro:desktop MatLefkofsky$ python3 Homework2_Final_Turnin.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Homework2_Final_Turnin.py", line 16, in <module>
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "lxml")
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/bs4/__init__.py", line 165, in __init__
% ",".join(features))
bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: lxml. Do you need to install a parser library?
How can I fix this issue? I have been on the all the other stack pages that relate and nothing works. I am running OS X 10.11.5 on my Mac.
