Activate the virtualenv, and then install BeautifulSoup4:

$ pip install BeautifulSoup4

When you installed bs4 with easy_install, you installed it system-wide. So your system python can import it, but not your virtualenv python. If you do not need bs4 to be installed in your system python path, uninstall it and keep it in your virtualenv.
