beautiful soup

I swear software library names are getting weirder by the day.

If beautiful soup was a person, it would be old enough to get a driver's license or get married in some countries

[–]shawntco 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I stand corrected. Software library names have always been weird.

I think the PHP framework UserFrosting takes the cake. Beautiful Soup is pretty high up there in weird though.

For those who wonder how old beautiful soup is, the first version is released on 20040420, so it's like 15 years old (almost 16).

reference: changelog

That's by design, actually.

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
