BeautifulSoup is an HTML parsing library for Python, often used by Python microformats parsing libraries, or as a link rel parser for follow your nose discovery algorithms.
BeautifulSoup4 leverages one of several possible HTML/XML parsing libraries (ElementTree, lxml, or html5lib) and provides a nice interface for wading through HTML, even very broken HTML (Earlier versions used complex regular expressions, instead of a "real" parser, to do this).
