####1,引言
《Scrapy的架构初探》一文讲解了Scrapy的架构,本文就实际来安装运行一下Scrapy爬虫。本文以官网的tutorial作为例子,完整的代码可以在github上下载。
####2,运行环境配置
- 本次测试的环境是:Windows10,Python3.4.3 32bit
- 安装Scrapy:$ pip install Scrapy #实际安装时,由于服务器状态的不稳定,出现好几次中途退出的情况
####3,编写运行第一个Scrapy爬虫
3.1. 生成一个新项目:tutorial
$ scrapy startproject tutorial
项目目录结构如下:
3.2. 定义要抓取的item # -- coding: utf-8 --
# Define here the models for your scraped items
#
# See documentation in:
# http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/items.html
import scrapy
class DmozItem(scrapy.Item):
title = scrapy.Field()
link = scrapy.Field()
desc = scrapy.Field()
3.3. 定义Spider
import scrapy
from tutorial.items import DmozItem
class DmozSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "dmoz"
allowed_domains = ["dmoz.org"] start_urls = [ "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Books/", "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Resources/" ]
def parse(self, response):
for sel in response.xpath('//ul/li'): item = DmozItem() item['title'] = sel.xpath('a/text()').extract() item['link'] = sel.xpath('a/@href').extract() item['desc'] = sel.xpath('text()').extract() yield item
3.4. 运行
$ scrapy crawl dmoz -o item.json
-
结果报错: A) ImportError: cannot import name '_win32stdio' B) ImportError: No module named 'win32api'
-
查错过程: 查看官方的FAQ和stackoverflow上的信息,原来是scrapy在python3上测试还不充分,还有小问题。
-
解决过程: A)需要手工去下载twisted/internet下的_win32stdio和_pollingfile,存放到python目录的lib\sitepackages\twisted\internet下 B)下载并安装pywin32
再次运行,成功!在控制台上可以看到scrapy的输出信息,待运行完成退出后,到项目目录打开结果文件items.json, 可以看到里面以json格式存储的爬取结果

]
第一次运行scrapy的测试成功
####4,接下来的工作
接下来,我们将使用GooSeeker API来实现网络爬虫,省掉对每个item人工去生成和测试xpath的工作量。
目前有2个计划:
- 在gsExtractor中封装一个方法:从xslt内容中自动提取每个item的xpath
- 从gsExtractor的提取结果中自动提取每个item的结果
具体选择哪个方案,将在接下来的实验中确定,并发布到gsExtractor新版本中
####5,文档修改历史
