为什么使用Beautiful Soup
详细内容在崔庆才大佬的教程：https://cuiqingcai.com/1319.html
简单来说，Beautiful Soup是python的一个库，最主要的功能是从网页抓取数据。官方解释如下：
在爬虫的实现中，经常使用正则表达式来匹配要查找的部分，但是如果一个正则匹配稍有差池，那可能程序就处在永久的循环之中，可以使用一个更强大的工具，叫Beautiful Soup，有了它我们可以很方便地提取出HTML或XML标签中的内容。
Beautiful Soup提供一些简单的、python式的函数用来处理导航、搜索、修改分析树等功能。它是一个工具箱，通过解析文档为用户提供需要抓取的数据，因为简单，所以不需要多少代码就可以写出一个完整的应用程序。
Beautiful Soup自动将输入文档转换为Unicode编码，输出文档转换为utf-8编码。你不需要考虑编码方式，除非文档没有指定一个编码方式，这时，Beautiful Soup就不能自动识别编码方式了。然后，你仅仅需要说明一下原始编码方式就可以了。
Beautiful Soup已成为和lxml、html6lib一样出色的python解释器，为用户灵活地提供不同的解析策略或强劲的速度。
安装过程出现了链接中类似的问题，参照作者的方案，
首先输入 anaconda search -t conda beautifulsoup4,这样子就会显示可用的版本 ，我的显示效果如下所示：
(wangli) D:\Anaconda3\envs\wangli> anaconda search -t conda beautifulsoup4
