[Tutor] trouble with beautiful soup

[marcus lütolf]

dear pythonistas, dear contributors Danny and Walter,

I tried all instructions given to my without any success:
If I type the install commands in the command line - even after having installed pip - I invariably get the notion that beautifulsoup is not found.
If I run the directory C:\Python27\Lib, beautifulsoup is not listed, also not if I look into IDLE Python 27/ Open Module.
And without surprise the command

C:\Python27>python
Python 2.7.10 (default, May 23 2015, 09:40:32) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import BeautifulSoup

returns ...no module found. 

On the other hand I find listed  
beautifulsoup4-4.4.1 in IDLE Python 27/ Lib   and 
pip  in IDLE Python 27/Lib/site-packages.

I think something must be wrong with my Python installation but I don't know what and how to fix it.
????

Thanks and regards, Marcus.

dear pythonistas, 
Jos, Alex, Danny, Francois and Rodney

I am absolutely thrilled about your prompt responses to my problem on this Christmas' eve and I am somewhat ashamed by my typing error.
However, neither the correct typing of beautifulsoup nor the replacment of the 2nd line of my code by <from bs4 import beautiful soup>
relieved the trace back mentioned in my previous mail.
????
Bless you, Marcus.

Change beautifulspoup to beautifulsoup It's just a typo...
