I'm trying to use Beautiful Soup. I installed in my mac terminal easy_install following the instructions, and while the process seem to go fine, when I try to import from bs4, had an ImportError, saying that such module did not exist.

I google it and after several tries, my terminal said that in order to use beautiful soup, somehow I should require that package from pkg_resources.

"Because this distribution was installed --multi-version, before you can import modules from this package in an application, you will need to 'import pkg_resources' and then use a 'require()' call similar to one of these examples, in order to select the desired version:

pkg_resources.require("beautifulsoup4") # latest installed version"

So, I tried to import pkg_resources but that leaves to a dead road as well. I don't know what to do.

You have to install pkg_resources using pip for example before you can import it.
