[Tutor] trouble with beautiful soup

Thu Dec 31 08:19:41 EST 2015

Dear Pythonistas,
finally I could install BeautifulSoup on my laptop. Please forget my most recent mail below.
But if I try the same procedure on my pc i get this and I have no idea why  this code I used for exercises gets into this command even after havin deleted all
Ma saved exercise codes referring to parsing the web:

C:\Users\marcus>cd c:\Python27\Scripts

c:\Python27\Scripts>pip install beutifulsoup
<h1>The First Page</h1>
<p>
If you like, you can switch to the
<a href="http://www.dr-chuck.com/page2.htm">
Second Page</a>.
</p>

c:\Python27\Scripts>

Dear Pythonistas,
o.K., thats what I get from the command line:

C:\Users\marcus>c:\Python27\Scripts>dir pip*
Der Befehl "c:\Python27\Scripts" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

C:\Users\marcus>

As mentioned earlier, the error message is in german and says: The command "c:\Python27\Scripts" is either mistyped or could not be found.
With the cd command I get:

C:\Users\marcus>cd c:\Python27\Scripts> dir pip*
Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch.

C:\Users\marcus>

The error message is also in german and says: The syntax for the filename, directory name or  drive name is wrong.
But if I use 2 steps I get:

C:\Users\marcus>cd c:\Python27\Scripts

c:\Python27\Scripts>dir pip*
 Datenträger in Laufwerk C: ist OS
 Volumeseriennummer: 4EE4-17CA

               0 Verzeichnis(se), 411.226.550.272 Bytes frei

c:\Python27\Scripts>

How do I proceed from here ?
Thanks an regards, Marcus.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
