Answers: python - How to use BeautifulSoup after installing from MacPorts?

Imran

I installed BeautifulSoup @3.2.1_0 via port install py27-beautifulsoup. Now how do i use it?

I tried the following from the python console:

>>>> from py27-beautifulsoup import BeautifulSoup
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    from py27-beautifulsoup import BeautifulSoup
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

and

>>>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

In general is there a way to know the command to run an installed package? It doesn't always match the package name as far as I can tell. I have had this problem before, like with g++ for example.

EDIT

I installed BeautifulSoup4 via pip install beautifulsoup4, and now this works:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I seem to install Gaphor successfully by Easy_install

$ sudo easy_install gaphor

I run it unsuccessfully by

$ gaphor

ImportError: No module named gobject

I then install gobject and run sudo port install py26-gobject. However, the same problem persists.
