Answer 1

The only series of BeautifulSoup which works with Python 3 is 3.1 However the author has abandoned it and will not release updates. You can read more about the problems here.

UPDATE: This is no longer true, BeautifulSoup 4 works on Python 3. You can install it with pip install beautifulsoup4.

pip install BeautifulSoup will install version 3.
