BeautifulSoup HTMLParseError. What's wrong with this?
- by user1915496
This is my code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
import urllib2
url = "http://services.runescape.com/m=news/recruit-a-friend-for-free-membership-and-xp"
res = urllib2.urlopen(url)
soup = BS(res.read())
other_content = soup.find_all('div',{'class':'Content'})[0]
print other_content
Yet an error comes up:
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/bs4/builder/_htmlparser.py:149: RuntimeWarning: Python's built-in HTMLParser cannot parse the given document. This is not a bug in Beautiful Soup. The best solution is to install an external parser (lxml or html5lib), and use Beautiful Soup with that parser. See http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#installing-a-parser for help.

I've let two other people use this code, and it works for them perfectly fine. Why is it not working for me? I have bs4 installed...
