I can see no bs4 folder within the contents.
I can not see any setup.py file either, but this is how I downloaded it.

You do have a setup.py in there, but your Windows explorer is showing
it to you without the .py extension.  Something unusual is happening
with the download/extraction process though and you're missing the
correct folder structure.  If you take a look here, you can see what
you *should* have after unzipping:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~leonardr/beautifulsoup/bs4/files

This approach seems to be unproductive though, so I'm going to second
Mark's suggestion to just use pip:

1) Go to pip-installer.org and download the single file get-pip.py
2) Open a command prompt and cd to the folder you downloaded that file into.
3) python get-pip.py
4) pip install beautifulsoup4

And then you should finally be ready to get started.  Good luck!


To be fair Terry Reedy has suggested pip at least twice, I've just given another source of data on how to get pip in the first place.
