Following up on that, if this is the book you are using:
http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Started-Beautiful-Soup-Vineeth/dp/1783289554

then it says to use Python 2.7.5 or greater.  There is no indication
that the book is targeted at Python 3, and in fact I see at least one
line that won't work in Python 3 ("import urllib2"), so I definitely
recommend sticking with a 2.7 release.
