Bug Description
Hi, it's my first time to report bug.
Sorry if i'm wrong.
from http://
It seems that beautifulsoup dev team modify the namespace and API of module ,
so it should be like that "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup".
However, in lxml/html/
so when I import the package in my script, it raised ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
Regards,
Lan

Yes, there is a new(er) version 4.x of BS that should get supported, in addition to the current BS 3.x support. If it can be done with a conditional import (prefering the newer version), that would be nice. I'd accept a pull request that implements that. Note that the tests in test_elementsoup.py should then also test both versions if both are installed. That might be the tricky part of it.
