Description: Beautiful Soup is a library that makes it easy to scrape information
        from web pages. It sits atop an HTML or XML parser, providing Pythonic
        idioms for iterating, searching, and modifying the parse tree.
        
        # Quick start
        
        ```
        >>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
        >>> soup = BeautifulSoup("<p>Some<b>bad<i>HTML")
        >>> print(soup.prettify())
        <html>
         <body>
          <p>
           Some
           <b>
            bad
            <i>
             HTML
            </i>
           </b>
          </p>
         </body>
        </html>
        >>> soup.find(text="bad")
        'bad'
        >>> soup.i
        <i>HTML</i>
        #
        >>> soup = BeautifulSoup("<tag1>Some<tag2/>bad<tag3>XML", "xml")
        #
        >>> print(soup.prettify())
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <tag1>
         Some
         <tag2/>
         bad
         <tag3>
          XML
         </tag3>
        </tag1>
        ```

        # Note on Python 2 sunsetting
        
        Beautiful Soup's support for Python 2 was discontinued on December 31,
        2020: one year after the sunset date for Python 2 itself. From this
        point onward, new Beautiful Soup development will exclusively target
        Python 3. The final release of Beautiful Soup 4 to support Python 2
        was 4.9.3.
        
        # Supporting the project
        
        If you use Beautiful Soup as part of your professional work, please consider a
        [Tidelift subscription](https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/pypi-beautifulsoup4?utm_source=pypi-beautifulsoup4&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=readme).
        This will support many of the free software projects your organization
        depends on, not just Beautiful Soup.
        
        If you use Beautiful Soup for personal projects, the best way to say
        thank you is to read
        [Tool Safety](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/zine/), a zine I
        wrote about what Beautiful Soup has taught me about software
        development.
        
        # Building the documentation
        
        The bs4/doc/ directory contains full documentation in Sphinx
        format. Run `make html` in that directory to create HTML
        documentation.
        
        # Running the unit tests
        
        Beautiful Soup supports unit test discovery from the project root directory:
        
        ```
        $ nosetests
        ```
        
        ```
        $ python3 -m unittest discover -s bs4
        ```
