Scrapy not installed correctly on mac?

python, python-2.7, scrapy

Solution

`--user` option is used when you want to install a package into the local user's `$HOME`, e.g. on Mac it should be `$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages`.

`scrapy` executable could be found at `$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin/scrapy`. So, you should edit your `.bash_login` file and modify `PATH` env variable:

PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin/:$PATH"

Or, just reinstall scrapy without `--user` flag.

Hope that helps.

Problem

I have tried to install `Scrapy` on mac 10.8.2. Here's what I did: In terminal, I ran the command from with myuser directory: ``` pip install --user scrapy ``` I got the following message in Terminal: ``` Successfully installed scrapy Cleaning up... ``` Next I do the following from the same myuser dir: ``` scrapy shell http://example.com ``` Here's the error I am getting: ``` -bash: scrapy: command not found ``` I believe this is a path issue, scrapy has been installed in /Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages. How do I get scrapy to run?
