Creating a spider using Scrapy, Spider generation error
use the scrapy-ctl.py in the project's dir. that script will know about that project's settings. the main scrapy-ctl.py doesn't have a clue about that specific project's settings.
I just downloaded Scrapy (web crawler) on Windows 32 and have just created a new project folder using the "scrapy-ctl.py startproject dmoz" command in dos. I then proceeded to created the first spider using the command:
scrapy-ctl.py genspider myspider myspdier-domain.com
but it did not work and returns the error:
Error running: scrapy-ctl.py genspider, Cannot find project settings module in python path: scrapy_settings.
I know I have the path set right (to python26/scripts), but I am having difficulty figuring out what the problem is. I am new to both scrapy and python so there is a good possibility that I have failled to do something important.
Also, I have been using eclipse with the Pydev plugin to edit the code if that might cause some problems.
