Importing bs4 in Python 3.5

Question

I have installed both Python 3.5 and Beautifulsoup4. When I try to import bs4, I get the error below. Is there any fix for that? Or should I just install Python 3.4 instead? Please be very explicit - I am new to programming. Many thanks! ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Python 3.5\lib\sit-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 30, in from .builder import builder_registry, ParserRejectionMarkup File "C:\Python 3.5\lib\sit-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 308, in from . import _htmlparser File "C:\Python 3.5\lib\sit-packages\bs4\_htmlparser.py", line 7, in from html.parser import ( ImportError: cannot import name 'HTMLParseError' ```

Accepted Answer

Update: Starting with 4.4.0, `BeautifulSoup` is compatible with Python 3.5. Upgrade:

```
pip install --upgrade beautifulsoup4
```

Old answer:

Because of the changes made for Deprecate strict mode of HTMLParser issue:

Issue #15114: the strict mode and argument of HTMLParser, HTMLParser.error, and the HTMLParserError exception have been removed.

I'm afraid `beautifulSoup4` is not compatible with Python 3.5 at the moment. Use Python 3.4.
