Make download in pip available

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

It'd be great to push the project to https://pypi.python.org/pypi to make it available as download with `pip`. `sudo pip install bs4` currently fails with

    Downloading/unpacking bs4
      Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement bs4
     Cleaning up...
    No distributions at all found for bs4
    Storing debug log for failure in /home/richter/.pip/pip.log

for me.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Try:
sudo apt-get python-bs4

The web page http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ incorrectly claims that the Ubuntu package is python-beautifulsoup4.

Thank you for your report.

This is something that upstream would need to do, not Ubuntu developers. So it really belongs in upstream's bug tracker or some kind of communication upstream, not here. If you want to see this done, you should speak to upstream.

Since there's nothing we can do for this in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Invalid in the Ubuntu packaging task.

In the meantime, as Allan points out, you can install this on Ubuntu using "sudo apt-get install python-bs4". If instead you want to use pip, then you need to speak to upstream since they would be the ones to push to PyPI.
