Bug Description
It would be great if a wheel could be provided on Pypi. This speeds up the installation significantly.
Thanks!

To build the wheel in the current directory, run:
$ pip install wheel && pip wheel beautifulsoup4 -w .
It creates beautifulsoup4- *-pyX-none- any.whl file where X is 2 or 3 depending on what python version pip command uses.
BeautifulSoup is not source-compatible with both Python 2 and 3 therefore a universal wheel won't work. Use `pip` that installs packages for Python 3 to get the wheel for Python 3.
