Okay, I have used BeautifulSoup a lot lately, but I am wondering, how do you
open a local html file?

Usually I do something like this for a url

soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen('http://www.website.com')


 urllib.urlopen gives you a file-like object for a resource at an url.

 file gives you a file-like object for a file on the local filesystem.

 soup = BeautifulSoup(file('/the/name/of/the/file'))
