python-beautifulsoup4
Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround
projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:
* Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree
that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is
usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away
* Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for
navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a
document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom
parser for each application
* Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and
outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings, unless
the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect
one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding
Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal stuff
for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links of class
externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com", or "Find the
table heading that's got bold text, then give me that text."
Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now within
your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes with
Beautiful Soup.

- Do not generate doc for py2 and py3 variant they are the same
so keep just one around
- Update to 4.7.1:
* Fixed a significant performance problem introduced in 4.7.0. [bug=1810617]
* Fixed an incorrectly raised exception when inserting a tag before or
after an identical tag. [bug=1810692]
* Beautiful Soup will no longer try to keep track of namespaces that
are not defined with a prefix; this can confuse soupselect. [bug=1810680]
* Tried even harder to avoid the deprecation warning originally fixed in
4.6.1. [bug=1778909]
* Beautiful Soup's CSS Selector implementation has been replaced by a
dependency on Isaac Muse's SoupSieve project (the soupsieve package
on PyPI). The good news is that SoupSieve has a much more robust and
complete implementation of CSS selectors, resolving a large number
of longstanding issues. The bad news is that from this point onward,
SoupSieve must be installed if you want to use the select() method.
* Added the PageElement.extend() method, which works like list.append().
[bug=1514970]
* PageElement.insert_before() and insert_after() now take a variable
number of arguments. [bug=1514970]
* Fix a number of problems with the tree builder that caused
trees that were superficially okay, but which fell apart when bits
were extracted. Patch by Isaac Muse. [bug=1782928,1809910]
* Fixed a problem with the tree builder in which elements that
contained no content (such as empty comments and all-whitespace
elements) were not being treated as part of the tree. Patch by Isaac
Muse. [bug=1798699]
* Fixed a problem with multi-valued attributes where the value
contained whitespace. Thanks to Jens Svalgaard for the
fix. [bug=1787453]
