Failed to install package Beautiful Soup. Error Message is "SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'"

Question

I have installed Python 3.5 on my Windows 8 Computer. I have also installed Pycharm Community Version 5.0.4. I am not able to install BeautifulSoup Module through Settings Option in Pycharm. I am getting the following error in Pycharm:

Collecting BeautifulSoup
  Using cached BeautifulSoup-3.2.1.tar.gz
  Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

                                    ^

Answer 1

You are trying to install BeautifulSoup 3, which is not Python 3 compatible. As the Pycharm error window explains:

Make sure you use a version of Python supported by this package. Currently you are using Python 3.5.

However, you want to install BeautifulSoup 4 instead; the project name for that series has changed to beautifulsoup4. BeautifulSoup 4 has been out for a few years now and supports Python 3.

Using Anaconda with the more current BeautifulSoup4 is the easiest.
