How to Install Beautifulsoup in Python3

Jun 20th, 2013

This will fail immediately

$   /usr/local/bin/easy_install3 BeautifulSoup

with error message

  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.3.0/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/distribute-0.6.28-py3.3.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 33, in <lambda>
    ).read(), "setup.py", 'exec'),
  File "setup.py", line 22
    print "Unit tests have failed!"

This is the right way

$  /usr/local/bin/pip3 install beautifulsoup4

Using Octopress

Octopress really makes blogging on github easy.

I am happy with tumblr after these many years, but writing programming related topic is not really enjoyable due to lack of support of syntax highlight etc.

The markdown support in Octopress is very good
