Variety won't launch : AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_base'

[qkzk]

Hi,

I've used variety without problem for monthes. Since yesterday I noticed it won't launch anymore.

I tried updating variety with apt-get update, apt-get install variety but it didn't fix the problem.

The version I have is : Package: variety
Version: 0.6.3-5~bpo8+1
I'm using debian Jessie 64 bits on a core i5.
The desktop environment is Cinnamon.

Here's what I get in the console when executing variety :

I add exactly the same output before updating. I installed it in january from the same way (as described on the main page).

Have a nice day !

$ variety -v

Hi,

You may be able to work around this issue by running 'pip install
beautifulsoup4': this will fetch a version of bs4 that's compatible with
new versions of html5lib.

Best,
James

Thank you.
I add to uninstall beautifullsoup4 first, I already had beautifulsoup4-4.3.2. pip installed beautifulsoup4-4.6.0 which is working with variety.
