Installing Scrapy on Python VirtualEnv
It's not possible to do what I wanted to do on the GoDaddy plan I had.
Here's my problem,
I have a shared hosting (GoDaddy Linux Hosting package) account and I'd like to create .py file to do some scraping for me. To do this I need the scrapy module (scrapy.org). Because of the shared account I can't install new modules so I installed VirtualEnv and created a new virtual env. that has pip, wheel, etc. preinstalled.
Running pip install scrapydoes NOT complete successfully because scrapy has lot of dependencies like libxml2 and it also needs python-dev tools. If I had access to 'sudo apt-get ...' this would be easy but I dont'. I can only use pip and easy_install.
So How do I install the python dev tool? And how do I install the dependencies? Is this even possible?
Cheers
