title: Why is beautifulsoup4 not importing to my script?
body: <p>Before I explain my problem I want to start by saying that I have looked all over this site for an answer and tried almost all of them, to no avail. </p>
  
  <p>I am on a windows machine, in a virtual environment. I have a command prompt opened in the virtual environment. I have already pip installed over a dozen modules that are being imported into my script and working perfectly. When I run the line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my command prompt I can do 'pip list' and see beautifulsoup4 version 4.9.0.  As well as in my virtual environment folder I can go into Lib\site-packages and I see all of my other installed packages that work in my script, along with a folder called 'bs4' and one called 'beautifulsoup4-4.9.0.dist-info'.  I have also tried pip uninstall beautifulsoup4 and then re installed it, confirming that it did not show up in pip list between running those. </p>
  
  <p>I am completely at a loss for why I cannot access the bs4 module. Anyone have any ideas for me to try?  Thanks in advance. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT:  I am currently using VS Code and have pip installed several other modules including pymysql and google-api packages. I have successfully connected to my gmail and Amazon RDS database, so i know the other modules are working properly. For some reason its only BeautifulSoup4 I am having issues with.  </p>
  
  <p>EDIT 2:  I opened up ipython from my virtual environment, and I entered from bs4 import beautifulsoup and i get this error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>ImportError: cannot import name 'beautifulsoup' from 'bs4' (C:\Users\Brian\Desktop\Projects\VirtualENVs\test_venv\Lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT 3: I finally just opened a new command prompt and pip installed beautifulsoup4 onto my computer outside of the virtual environment and now it works fine. </p>
