1. Make sure you used 'pip install beautifulsoup4' and not just 'beautifulsoup' 2. At the end of the error there is 'most likely due to a circular import', so maybe one of the files in your directory uses the same file name as a bs4 module, try running the line from an interpreter in empty directory and see if it gives the same error
