I am trying to use BeautifulSoup, and despite using the import statement: 
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
I am getting the error: ImportError: cannot import name BeautifulSoup
import bs4 does not give any errors.
I have also tried import bs4.BeautifulSoup and just importing bs4 and creating a BeautifulSoup object with: bs4.BeautifulSoup()
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Copy bs4 and beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.dist-info from C:\python\Lib\site-packages to your local project directory. It worked for me. Here, python actually looks for the library in local directory rather than the place where the library was installed!
Cannot import Beautiful Soup
