I am new to Python, but my main interest is to use it to Webscrape. I have
downloaded Beautiful Soup, and have followed the instruction in the 'Getting
Started with Beautiful Soup' book, but my Python installations keep returning
errors, so I can't get started. I have unzipped Beautiful Soup to a folder of
the same name on my C drive, in accordance with the first two steps of page 12
of the aforementioned publication, but proceeding to navigate to the program as
in step three, re: "Open up the command line prompt and navigate to the folder
where you have unzipped the folder as follows:
cd Beautiful Soup
python setup python install "
This returns on my Python 27 :
>>> cd Beautiful Soup
File "<stdin>",line 1
cd Beautiful Soup
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
also I get:
>>> cd Beautiful Soup
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
to my IDLE Python 2.7 version, same goes for the Python 3.4 installations.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
