  • 0

I am running BeautifulSoup on python platform on openshift. I tried to set the BeautifulSoup>=4.0 in the “install_requires” section in the setup.py file, but it can not search for BeautifulSoup 4, rather it install BeautifulSoup 3.2.1, but for my project I need to install BeautifulSoup >= 4.0. So how to get the latest package of BeautifulSoup installed?

Here is my setup.py` file looks.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='YourAppName',
    version='1.0',
    description='OpenShift App',
    author='Your Name',
    author_email='example@example.com',
    url='http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
    install_requires=['Django>=1.3', 'BeautifulSoup>=4.0', 'robotexclusionrulesparser',],
)

Here is the error looks like:

    As per the upstream project’s documentation apparently version 4.x needs to be referenced via a different naming convention for pip installs.

    http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/#Download

    I setup a demo app to test and set my setup.py to contain the following:

    from setuptools import setup

    setup(name='YourAppName',
      version='1.0',
      description='OpenShift App',
      author='Your Name',
      author_email='example@example.com',
      url='http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
      install_requires=['Django>=1.3','beautifulsoup4'],
     )

    Then a git commit and push resulted in the following snippet.

    remote: Searching for beautifulsoup4
remote: Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/beautifulsoup4/remote: Reading http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/
remote: Reading http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/download/
remote: Best match: beautifulsoup4 4.1.3
remote: Downloading http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/download/beautifulsoup4-4.1.3.tar.gz
remote: Processing beautifulsoup4-4.1.3.tar.gz
