BeautifulSoup import error in python 2.7 Windows 7

Question

I'm new with Python and I'm trying to use the BeautifulSoup 4.3.2 package but I get the next error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Name\Documents\NetBeansProjects\PythonPruebas\src\prueba.py", line 10, in <module>
       from bs4 import BeautifulSoup        
ImportError: No module named bs4

line 10 is:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it doesn't works.
I installed it using setup.py install.
I don't have other versions of python in my PC.
When I write the same line in IDLE (Python GUI), nothing happens I only get the error in NetBeans.

How have you installed `BeautifulSoup`? What is the output of `pip freeze` command? Thanks. — alecxe, Oct 10 '14 at 13:01
I installed the first time using setup.py then I used pip but it doesn't works. The output of pip freeze is: beautifulsoup4==4.3.2 — Drow, Oct 15 '14 at 13:32

You should install it like pip install BeautifulSoup4 , if you don't have pip installed, install it like it's written in this post (there are several workable solutions) How to install pip on windows?

what is wrong with the answer? why down-vote? Please, explain. Is there the same error after `pip install BeautifulSoup4` ? – German Petrov Oct 10 '14 at 19:08
Hi, I don't know who down-vote your answer, it wasn't me. I have used pip and I get the same error. – Drow Oct 15 '14 at 13:34
