I guess you've moved on from this specific problem.
However here is some general advice:

To use beautiful soup you need to use python.
To use python you need to know python.
Some people spend months on that, or weeks or days.

Maybe you are clever and can reduce that to hours but not further :-)

So start with this
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/
or
https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/

[depending on which python you need]

It may take a bit longer; but you will suffer less.

Thank you for your advice. I did buy a book on Python, 'Hello Python' but the code in it wouldn't run, so I returned it to the shop for a refund. I am going to visit the local library to see if they have any books on Python. I am familiar with Java and Pascal, and looking at a few You tubes on the subject, thought it was not much different, and shares many of the oop concepts (variables, initializing, expressions, methods, and so on, but I realize there is no point in walking backwards in new territory.
