  • 0

Beautiful Soup works in the Python shell using Django. I can also successfully import from bs4 import BeautifulSoup into views.py, but when I call something like soup = BeautifulSoup(xml), I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. I talked to my host, and they could not find the problem. Any ideas?

Note the xml is xml = urllib2.urlopen("http://isbndb.com/api/books.xml?access_key=000000&results=details&index1=isbn&value1=0000").read(), but it works in the Python shell (within myproject folder), so I wouldn’t think that’s the problem.

    This sounds like the interaction between Cython and mod_wsgi described here, and explored in a Beautiful Soup context here.
