You might be able to get the previous version (beautiful soup 3.x) to work.

Thanks I’ll look into

If anyone can add…

```auto
from sgmllib import SGMLParser, SGMLParseError
import codecs
import types
import re
import sgmllib
try:
  from htmlentitydefs import name2codepoint
except ImportError:
  name2codepoint = {}

```

Import to project library:  
[BeautifulSoup3.2.2.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/4qjfSbxXgZH2NJef3TWi4EavnV1.zip) (22.0 KB)

Test using one of our power monitors:

```python
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://192.168.140.31/15"
soup = BeautifulSoup(system.net.httpGet(url))

t = soup.find('table')
tr = t.findAll('tr')

headers = ['meter', 'value']
data = []
for row in tr:
	td = row.findAll('td')
	if len(td) > 0:
		data.append([col.text for col in td])
		
dataOut = system.dataset.toDataSet(headers, data)

```

Resultant dataset:

```plaintext
row | meter value
---------------------------------
 0 | L1 Current 1229 
 1 | L2 Current 1187 
 2 | L3 Current 1164 
 3 | Avg Current 1194 
 4 | L1-N Voltage 282.0
 5 | L2-N Voltage 280.7
 6 | L3-N Voltage 277.0
 7 | Avg L-N Voltage 279.9
 8 | L1-L2 Voltage 487.0
 9 | L2-L3 Voltage 482.3
 10 | L3-L1 Voltage 485.2
 11 | Avg L-L Voltage 484.9
 12 | Frequency, last cycle 59.99
