Why do I get a recursion error with BeautifulSoup and IDLE?

by

This is a buggy interaction between IDLE and BeautifulSoup’s NavigableString objects (which subclass unicode). See issue 1757057; it’s been around for a while.

The work-around is to convert the object to a plain unicode value first:

print unicode(names)
