I've attached the 2.4 version. I also have some Windows binaries for
Beautiful Soup uploaded to my website:
http://www.pythonlibrary.org/python_modules.htm

   What on earth do you need a "Windows binary" for?  "BeautifulSoup"
is ONE PYTHON SOURCE FILE, "BeautifulSoup.py".

Ummm.. Why does it bother you? Mike seems to be offering a public
service to Windows users: by downloading the .exe, I can double-click
on one file, have the module or package installed (whether it contains
one .py file or twenty or a series of compiled extension modules and their respective DLLs) and for a bonus it's registered in the system
packages directory [*] and is therefore uninstallable from there.

    Executing strange executables is risky.  One always wonders what
else they install in addition to what they're supposed be installing.
