+Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick
+turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it
+powerful:
+
+1. Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a
+parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original
+document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need
+and run away.
+
+2. Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for
+navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for
+dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You don't have to
+create a custom parser for each application.
+
+3. Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode
+and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about
+encodings, unless the document doesn't specify an encoding and
+Beautiful Soup can't autodetect one. Then you just have to specify
+the original encoding.
+
+Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal
+stuff for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the
+links of class externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match
+"foo.com", or "Find the table heading that's got bold text, then give
+me that text."
+
+Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is 
+now within your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only 
+minutes with Beautiful Soup.
+
+If python3-soupsieve is installed, then this will also build for 
+Python 3.
