Error "AttributeError 'collections' has no attribute 'Callable' " using Beautiful Soup

Question

I followed all steps to install Beautiful Soup, but it still comes out with this error:

AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Callable'

I am using Python 3.10.

Answer 1

collections.Callable has been moved to collections.abc.Callable in python 3.10+. A hacky solution is to add the reference back to collections before importing the problem library.

import collections
collections.Callable = collections.abc.Callable

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # for example

Answer 2

This solution worked for me:

1. Navigate to Python310\Lib\site-packages\pyreadline in your file browser.
2. Open py3k_compat.py in an text editor.
3. Change the 8th line from which should be return isinstance(x, collections.Callable) to return isinstance(x, collections.abc.Callable).
4. Save, exit and then retry.
