Considering the opinionated nature of this guide, does anyone have thoughts on rewriting this example to use BeatifulSoup? It's much more pythonic, and doesn't require lxml (which can be difficult to install). |

@lyndsysimon beautifulsoup has a lot of nuances (often times the releases operate very differently), and i'd like to avoid recommending it to people if possible. It deserves a mention though. |

I wrote a scenario about scraping data from a website using lxml and Requests. I also gave pointers on cool ways to expand on this functionality. One of the reasons why I got around to this was that I couldn't find a good resource for writing a scraper in Python that had everything all in one place.
