How am I supposed to know BeautifulSoup() accepts httpResponse object, which urlopen() returns when BeautifulSoup documentation does not mention that it does?

Can someone elaborate the range of parameter types that BeautifulSoup() accepts?

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import urlopen

html = urlopen("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bacon")
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

    `help(BeautifulSoup)` and other `bs4` documentation. When in doubt, ask for `help()`. – DYZ Feb 12 '18 at 05:45
