Yes....I just read about the 3.1 problems, and switched to 3.07a, re-ran
the exact same code as befor...and it worked perfectly this time.  

(For those novices who are unsure of how to install a previous version,
I found that I only had to simply clear out what BS files I had already
under site-packages, and just put the Beautiful Soup.py 3.0.7a file found 
on the website into that site-packages folder...very easy).

Lots of useful information today, thank you to everyone.
