我使用BeautifulSoup 4.3.2和OS X 10.6.8。我也有安装不正确 LXML 的一个问题。这里有一些事情，我发现了：

首先，检查此相关的问题：删除MacPorts的，现在的Python坏了

现在，为了检查所安装的建设者BeautifulSoup 4，尽量

 ＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口BS4
＆GT;＆GT;＆GT; bs4.builder.builder_registry.builders
 

如果您没有看到自己喜欢的建设者，那么它没有安装，你会看到一个错误如上（找不到一棵树建设者...）。

此外，只是因为你可以进口LXML ，并不意味着一切都是完美的。

尝试

 ＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口LXML
＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口lxml.etree
 

要明白这是怎么回事，转到 BS4 安装和打开的鸡蛋（焦油-xvzf ）。注意模块 bs4.builder 。里面你应该看到的文件，如 _lxml.py 和 _html5lib.py 。所以，你也可以尝试

 ＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口bs4.builder.htmlparser
＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口bs4.builder._lxml
＆GT;＆GT;＆GT;进口bs4.builder._html5lib
 

如果有问题，你会看到，为什么展所长，模块不能加载。你可以看到在如何建设者/ __ __初始化PY年底加载所有这些模块，并忽略任何未加载：

 ＃建设者登记在优先顺序相反，从而使定制
＃Builder的注册将于precedence。在一般情况下，我们希望LXML
＃取precedence超过html5lib，因为它的速度更快。我们只
＃要使用的HTMLParser作为最后的结果。
从。进口_htmlparser
register_treebuilders_from（_htmlparser）
尝试：
    从。进口_html5lib
    register_treebuilders_from（_html5lib）
除了导入错误：
    ＃他们没有安装html5lib。
    通过
尝试：
    从。进口_lxml
    register_treebuilders_from（_lxml）
除了导入错误：
    ＃他们没有安装LXML。
    通过
 

I am using python 2,7.5 on mac 10.7.5, beautifulsoup 4.2.1. I am going to parse a xml page using the lxml library, as taught in the beautifulsoup tutorial. However, when I run my code, it shows

bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested:
lxml,xml. Do you need to install a parser library?

I am sure that I already installed lxml by all methods: easy_install, pip, port, etc. I tried to add a line to my code to see if lxml is installed or not:

import lxml

Then python can just successfully go through this code and display the previous error message again, occurring at the same line.

So I am quite sure that lxml was installed, but not installed correctly. So I decided to uninstall lxml, and then re-install using a 'correct' method. But when I type in

easy_install -m  lxml

it shows:

Searching for lxml
Best match: lxml 3.2.1
Processing lxml-3.2.1-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg

Using /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lxml-
3.2.1-py2.7-macosx-10.6-intel.egg

Because this distribution was installed --multi-version, before you can
import modules from this package in an application, you will need to
'import pkg_resources' and then use a 'require()' call similar to one of
these examples, in order to select the desired version:

pkg_resources.require("lxml")  # latest installed version
pkg_resources.require("lxml==3.2.1")  # this exact version
pkg_resources.require("lxml>=3.2.1")  # this version or higher

Processing dependencies for lxml
Finished processing dependencies for lxml

So I don't know how to continue my uninstall...

I looked up many posts about this issue on google but still I can't find any useful info.

Here is my code:

import mechanize
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import lxml

class count:
    def __init__(self,protein):
        self.proteinCode = protein
        self.br = mechanize.Browser()

    def first_search(self):
        #Test 0
        soup = BeautifulSoup(self.br.open("http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/21225921?report=genbank&log$=prottop&blast_rank=1&RID=YGJHMSET015"), ['lxml','xml'])
        return

if __name__=='__main__':
    proteinCode = sys.argv[1]
    gogogo = count(proteinCode)

I want to know:

1. How can I uninstall lxml?
2. How can I install lxml 'correctly'? How do I know that it is correctly installed?

I am using BeautifulSoup 4.3.2 and OS X 10.6.8. I also have a problem with improperly installed lxml. Here are some things that I found out:

First of all, check this related question: Removed MacPorts, now Python is broken

Now, in order to check which builders for BeautifulSoup 4 are installed, try

>>> import bs4
>>> bs4.builder.builder_registry.builders

If you don't see your favorite builder, then it is not installed, and you will see an error as above ("Couldn't find a tree builder...").

Also, just because you can import lxml, doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

Try

>>> import lxml
>>> import lxml.etree

To understand what's going on, go to the bs4 installation and open the egg (tar -xvzf). Notice the modules bs4.builder. Inside it you should see files such as _lxml.py and _html5lib.py. So you can also try

>>> import bs4.builder.htmlparser
>>> import bs4.builder._lxml
>>> import bs4.builder._html5lib

If there is a problem, you will see, why a parricular module cannot be loaded. You can notice how at the end of builder/__init__.py it loads all those modules and ignores whatever was not loaded:

# Builders are registered in reverse order of priority, so that custom
# builder registrations will take precedence. In general, we want lxml
# to take precedence over html5lib, because it's faster. And we only
# want to use HTMLParser as a last result.
from . import _htmlparser
register_treebuilders_from(_htmlparser)
try:
    from . import _html5lib
    register_treebuilders_from(_html5lib)
except ImportError:
    # They don't have html5lib installed.
    pass
try:
    from . import _lxml
    register_treebuilders_from(_lxml)
except ImportError:
    # They don't have lxml installed.
    pass
