I tried using BeautifulSoup to make changes to the url
links on html pages, but when the page was displayed,
it was garbled up and didn't look right (even when I
didn't actually change anything on the page yet). I
ran these steps in python to see what was up:

>>from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
>>from urllib2 import build_opener, Request
>>
>>req = Request('http://www.python.org/')
>>f = build_opener().open(req)
>>page = f.read()
>>f.close()
>>
>>len(page)
12040
>>
>>soup = BeautifulSoup()
>>soup.feed(page)
>>page2 = soup.renderContents()
>>len(page2)
11889

I have version 2.1 of BeautifulSoup. It seems that
other ppl have used BeautifulSoup and it works fine
for them so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any
help would be appreciated, thanks.
