Beautiful Soup 4

Beautiful Soup 4 (often imported as `bs4`) is a Python library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. It works with your favorite parser to provide idiomatic ways of navigating, searching, and modifying the parse tree, commonly saving programmers hours or days of work in web scraping and data extraction. The library is actively maintained with an irregular release cadence, focusing on Python 3 development. The `bs4` package on PyPI is a dummy package, and the actual library to install is `beautifulsoup4`.
