A single function, select(soup, selector), that can be used to select items

from a BeautifulSoup instance using CSS selector syntax.

Currently supports type selectors, class selectors, id selectors, attribute

selectors and the descendant combinator.

soupselect requires BeautifulSoup v3.0.3 or above; it will not work with v2.x

Example usage:

    >>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as Soup

    >>> from soupselect import select

    >>> import urllib

    >>> soup = Soup(urllib.urlopen('http://slashdot.org/'))

    >>> select(soup, 'div.title h3')

You can also monkey-patch the BeautifulSoup class itself:

    >>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as Soup

    >>> import soupselect; soupselect.monkeypatch()

    >>> import urllib

    >>> soup = Soup(urllib.urlopen('http://slashdot.org/'))

    >>> soup.findSelect('div.title h3')
