What is the cause of File"/Users/user name/Documents/html.py", line 2, in from bs4 import BeautifulSoup at the end of the error message? html module?, instead of html.py because html that you are trying to run exists in the same folder as File"/Users/user name/Documents/20210114.py", line1, in from bs4import BeautifulSoup, you want to use instead of html

Try changing the html.py in /Users/user name/Documents/ to a different name or move to a location that is not included in Python's module search path.

Similarly, it is recommended that you stop naming script files or unique class/method/variable names that are likely to be used in Python libraries/packages/modules.
