Installing package via pip works fine but still import error

Question

I am using this python version

 Python 3.7.0

And this pip version

 pip 18.0

And then I install the bs4 package

pip install beautifulsoup4
pip install bs4

This all works (without errors) but now when I run a python script with:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

Any thoughts on what goes wrong here?

I tried and works fine. Are you in a different virtualenv? Can you explain how and where you install and you run python? Seems like you are installing the library in a different virtualenv — Pentux, Aug 17 '18 at 07:25

I am assuming you are trying to install BeautifulSoup4. If so, try:

pip install beautifulsoup4

and then you will be able to import bs4 using:

import bs4
