Ubuntu - How to install a Python module (BeautifulSoup) on Python 3.3 instead of Python 2.7?

Ubuntu has beautifulsoup packaged. I found it by running apt-cache search

$ apt-cache search beautifulsoup

I see it has both a 2.7 and 3.3 version in the results. You can get the 3.3 version by installing python3-bs4

$ sudo apt-get install python3-bs4

Use pip3

sudo pip3 install BeautifulSoup4

If you cannot run pip3 install it with the following:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo easy_install3 pip 


xxx@Ubuntu14:~/Desktop$ sudo pip3 install BeautifulSoup4
[sudo] password for xxx:

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

A single command did the trick for me:

Try:

sudo apt-get install python3-bs4

and then import it as:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
