What follows is a summary of the changes from -Beautiful Soup 3. - -=== The module name has changed === - -Previously you imported the BeautifulSoup class from a module also -called BeautifulSoup. To save keystrokes and make it clear which -version of the API is in use, the module is now called 'bs4': - - >>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup - -=== It works with Python 3 === - -Beautiful Soup 3.1.0 worked with Python 3, but the parser it used was -so bad that it barely worked at all. Beautiful Soup 4 works with -Python 3, and since its parser is pluggable, you don't sacrifice -quality. - -Special thanks to Thomas Kluyver and Ezio Melotti for getting Python 3 -support to the finish line. Ezio Melotti is also to thank for greatly -improving the HTML parser that comes with Python 3.2. - -=== CDATA sections are normal text, if they're understood at all. === - -Currently, the lxml and html5lib HTML parsers ignore CDATA sections in -markup: - -

=>

- -A future version of html5lib will turn CDATA sections into text nodes, -but only within tags like and : - - foo =>

foo

- -The default XML parser (which uses lxml behind the scenes) turns CDATA -sections into ordinary text elements: - -

=>

foo

- -In theory it's possible to preserve the CDATA sections when using the -XML parser, but I don't see how to get it to work in practice. - -=== Miscellaneous other stuff === - -If the BeautifulSoup instance has .is_xml set to True, an appropriate -XML declaration will be emitted when the tree is transformed into a -string: - - - - ... - - -The ['lxml', 'xml'] tree builder sets .is_xml to True; the other tree -builders set it to False.

This is because the meaning -of str() inverts between Python 2 and 3; in Python 2 it gives you a -byte string, in Python 3 it gives you a Unicode string. - -The effect of this is that you can't pass an encoding to .__str__ -anymore. Use encode() to get a string and decode() to get Unicode, and -you'll be ready (well, readier) for Python 3. - -2. Beautiful Soup is now based on HTMLParser rather than SGMLParser, -which is gone in Python 3. There's some bad HTML that SGMLParser -handled but HTMLParser doesn't, usually to do with attribute values -that aren't closed or have brackets inside them: - - baz - ', '"> - -A later version of Beautiful Soup will allow you to plug in different -parsers to make tradeoffs between speed and the ability to handle bad -HTML. - -3. In Python 3 (but not Python 2), HTMLParser converts entities within -attributes to the corresponding Unicode characters. In Python 2 it's -possible to parse this string and leave the é intact. - - - -In Python 3, the é is always converted to \xe9 during -parsing. - - -= 3.0.7a = - -Added an import that makes BS work in Python 2.3. - - -= 3.0.7 = - -Fixed a UnicodeDecodeError when unpickling documents that contain -non-ASCII characters. - -Fixed a TypeError that occured in some circumstances when a tag -contained no text. - -Jump through hoops to avoid the use of chardet, which can be extremely -slow in some circumstances. UTF-8 documents should never trigger the -use of chardet. - -Whitespace is preserved inside
