Dear Ian, The book does recommend to use Python 2.7 (see bottom line of page 10). The book also recommends to use Beautiful Soup 4. You are right that in that I have placed the unzipped BS4 folder within a folder, and I therefore removed the contents of the inner folder and transferred them to the outer folder. The console now can access the contents of the Beautiful Soup folder, but it is still having problems with it as the last output to my console demonstrates :
