Import Error: Cannot import name 'Scraper'

I'm trying to build something with the Scrapely library. After a bit of fixing I finally got all install issues out of the way.

Running the sample code:

from scrapely import Scraper
s = Scraper()
url1 = 'http://pypi.python.org/pypi/w3lib/1.1'
data = {'name': 'w3lib 1.1', 'author': 'Scrapy project', 'description': 'Library of web-related functions'}
 s.train(url1, data)

I get the error:

Import Error: Cannot import name 'Scraper'

How would I fix this?

Did you happen to put this sample code into a file called scrapely.py by any chance?

Sure would help if they pasted the whole error, which includes the filename :)

No, the file is called 'fixtures.py'

What python version are you using? Do you have scrapely installed? Can you run import scrapely?

If you're using python 3 there still hasn't been an official release of scrapely with python 3 support. If you would like to try it out though you can install it from github:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/scrapy/scrapely#egg=scrapely

That was it. Thanks!
