Scrapy: Unable to create a project
lxml, osx-mountain-lion, python, scrapy
Solution
According to this thread:
This problem can arise on Macs when you use pip to install some packages and easy_install to install others.
Try:
sudo easy_install --upgrade lxml
sudo easy_install --upgrade scrapy
Problem
I had issues installing scrapy respect to `lxml` but then I found some information on stackoverflow. Based on that information I did a `sudo easy_install lxml` with some error I think scrapy got install: Reason I came to that judgement is that I repel I could do following: ``` Python 2.7.5 (default, Jul 28 2013, 07:27:04) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 4.2 (clang-425.0.28)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from scrapy import * >>> ``` But when I try to do the scrapy tutorial I get following error: ``` $ scrapy startproject tutorial Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 4, in <module> import pkg_resources File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2603, in <module> working_set.require(__requires__) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 666, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 565, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml ```
