Comment 1 for bug 1289324

Yes, there is a new(er) version 4.x of BS that should get supported, in addition to the current BS 3.x support. If it can be done with a conditional import (prefering the newer version), that would be nice. I'd accept a pull request that implements that. Note that the tests in test_elementsoup.py should then also test both versions if both are installed. That might be the tricky part of it.
