In the near future, lxml will become an optional + dependency. Requiring lxml makes it more difficult to install + Beautiful Soup, and recent improvements to Python's built-in HTML + parser make it good enough to serve as the default. + + If you install Beautiful Soup via a requirements.txt file and you + still want Beautiful Soup to use lxml as its parser (you probably + do), you should add 'lxml' to the list of requirements. + * Added a warning when you instantiate a BeautifulSoup object without explicitly naming a parser.
