AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_base'

Hey there,

I followed your instructions exactly, but when I try to run

./manage.py search --help
or any ./manage.py search

I run into

$ ./manage.py search
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_base'

Any idea why this is occurring?

[vandah]

this can be fixed by replacing all occurences of '_base' by 'base' in the specified file (skyscraper/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bs4/builder/_html5lib.py)

it seems to be a problem with different package so for a more permanent solution try to solve this elsewhere
