I understand from your message that I ought to use Python 2.6 or Python 3.4 with Beautiful Soup 4, the book I am using 'Getting Started with Beautiful Soup' is for Beautiful Soup 4. Therefore I gather I must re-download Beautiful Soup and get the 4 version, dispose of my Python 2.7 and reinstall Python 3.4. I am sure I can do this, but doesn't the above information suggest that the only Python grade left that might work with Beautiful Soup 3 would by Python 2.7 - which is the configuration I have at present, though I am not perfectly happy, as it is not taking code in the book (meant for BS4) such as the following on page 16 :

That's the Windows command prompt, not the Python command prompt.
