"""Beautiful Soup
Elixir and Tonic
"The Screen-Scraper's Friend"
http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/

Beautiful Soup parses a (possibly invalid) XML or HTML document into a
tree representation. It provides methods and Pythonic idioms that make
it easy to navigate, search, and modify the tree.

A well-formed XML/HTML document yields a well-formed data
structure. An ill-formed XML/HTML document yields a correspondingly
ill-formed data structure. If your document is only locally
well-formed, you can use this library to find and process the
well-formed part of it.

Beautiful Soup works with Python 2.2 and up. It has no external
dependencies, but you'll have more success at converting data to UTF-8
if you also install these three packages:

* chardet, for auto-detecting character encodings
  http://chardet.feedparser.org/
* cjkcodecs and iconv_codec, which add more encodings to the ones supported
  by stock Python.
  http://cjkpython.i18n.org/

Beautiful Soup defines classes for two main parsing strategies:

 * BeautifulStoneSoup, for parsing XML, SGML, or your domain-specific
   language that kind of looks like XML.

 * BeautifulSoup, for parsing run-of-the-mill HTML code, be it valid
   or invalid. This class has web browser-like heuristics for
   obtaining a sensible parse tree in the face of common HTML errors.

Beautiful Soup also defines a class (UnicodeDammit) for autodetecting
the encoding of an HTML or XML document, and converting it to
Unicode. Much of this code is taken from Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser.

For more than you ever wanted to know about Beautiful Soup, see the
documentation:
