[Bug 51531] [Request] python-beautifulsoup

[doclist]

Public bug reported:

Request for backport of Beautiful Soup Python module.

-----------------------------------------------------
python-beautifulsoup 3.0.1-2ubuntu1
----------------------------------------------------

"Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping."
http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/

Version 3.0 (currently available in Edgy Eft) offers substantial improvements over version 2 (in Dapper) including
 - vastly improved Unicode support
- new support for modifying the parse tree (add, removing, replacing attributes, tags... etc.)
 - facilities to imorove parsing of large documents by reducing memory consumption through partial document parsing and new 'extract' method
- more polished syntax and function naming.
- Many other improvements (See http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/CHANGELOG.html).

Being a self-contained Python mode (no dependencies other than Python)
and no real 'building' to speak of I see no problems that it could cause
in Dapper.

Version 3 is a big upgrade from version 2 of this very useful tool. I
would appreciate it if it could be backported.

** Affects: dapper-backports (upstream)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
