I use up-to-date Debian testing (wheezy), amd64 architecture. I compiled and installed Python 3.3.0 alpha 3 using "altinstall". Debian wheezy comes with python3.2 (and 2.6 and 2.7). I installed the Debian package python3-bs4 (BeautifulSoup4 for Python3). I also downloaded a "clone" developmental copy of 3.3.

Python3.3a3 cannot find module bs4. Neither can the "clone". Python3.2 can find the module. Here is a session with the "clone":

Remember that Debian installs its system packages into dist-packages not site-packages. This is a Debian delta from upstream.
