+Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround
+projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:
+
+1. Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a
+parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original
+document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need
+and run away.
+
+2. Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for
+navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for
+dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You don't have to
+create a custom parser for each application.
+
+3. Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and
+outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings,
+unless the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup
+can't autodetect one. Then you just have to specify the original
+encoding.
+
+Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal
+stuff for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links
+of class externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com",
+or "Find the table heading that's got bold text, then give me that text."
+
+Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now
+within your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes
+with Beautiful Soup.
