Scrapy是一款非常成熟的爬虫框架，可以抓取网页数据并抽取结构化数据，目前已经有很多企业用于生产环境。对于它的更多介绍，可以查阅相关资料（官方网站：www.scrapy.org）。
我们根据官网提供的安装指南，来一步步安装，主要参考了http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html页面的介绍：
Requirements¶
Python 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 (3.x is not yet supported)
Twisted 2.5.0, 8.0 or above (Windows users: you’ll need to install Zope.Interface and maybe pywin32 because of this Twisted bug)
w3lib
lxml or libxml2 (if using libxml2, version 2.6.28 or above is highly recommended)
simplejson (not required if using Python 2.6 or above)
pyopenssl (for HTTPS support. Optional, but highly recommended)准备工作
操作系统：RHEL 5
Python版本：Python-2.7.2
zope.interface版本：zope.interface-3.8.0
Twisted版本：Twisted-11.1.0
libxml2版本：libxml2-2.7.4.tar.gz
w3lib版本：w3lib-1.0
Scrapy版本：Scrapy-0.14.0.2841
安装配置
1、安装zlib
首先检查一下你的系统中是否已经安装zlib，该库是一个与数据压缩相关的工具包，scrapy框架依赖于该工具包。我使用的RHEL 5系统，查看是否安装：
[root@localhost scrapy]# rpm -qa zlib
zlib-1.2.3-3[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -xvzf zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
[root@localhost zlib-1.2.5]# cd zlib-1.2.5
[root@localhost zlib-1.2.5]# make
[root@localhost zlib-1.2.5]# make install2、安装Python
我的系统中已经安装的Python 2.4，根据官网要求和建议，我选择了Python-2.7.2，下载地址如下所示：
http://www.python.org/download/（需要代理）
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz
我下载了Python的源代码，重新编译后，进行安装，过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -zvxf Python-2.7.2.tgz
[root@localhost scrapy]# cd Python-2.7.2
[root@localhost Python-2.7.2]# ./configure
[root@localhost Python-2.7.2]# make
[root@localhost Python-2.7.2]# make install默认情况下，Python程序被安装到/usr/local/lib/python2.7。
如果你的系统中没有安装过Python，此时通过命令行执行一下：
[root@localhost scrapy]# python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Dec 5 2011, 22:04:07)
[GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>如果你的系统中还有其他版本的Python，例如我的系统中2.4版本的，所以要做一个符号链接：
[root@localhost python2.7]# mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python.bak
[root@localhost python2.7]# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python3、安装setuptools
这里主要是安装一个用来管理Python模块的工具，如果已经安装就跳过该步骤。如果你需要安装，可以参考下面的链接：
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c11#installation-instructions
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg#md5=fe1f997bc722265116870bc7919059ea
不过，在安装Python-2.7.2以后，可以看到Python的解压缩包里面有一个setup.py脚本，使用这个脚本可以安装Python一些相关的模块，执行命令：
[root@localhost Python-2.7.2]# python setup.py install4、安装zope.interface
下载地址如下所示：
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/z/zope.interface/zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz#md5=8ab837320b4532774c9c89f030d2a389
安装过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]$ tar -xvzf zope.interface-3.8.0.tar.gz
[root@localhost scrapy]$ cd zope.interface-3.8.0
[root@localhost zope.interface-3.8.0]$ python setup.py build
[root@localhost zope.interface-3.8.0]$ python setup.py install5、安装Twisted
下载地址如下所示：
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.1.0.tar.bz2#md5=972f3497e6e19318c741bf2900ffe31c
安装过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]# bzip2 -d Twisted-11.1.0.tar.bz2
[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -xvf Twisted-11.1.0.tar
[root@localhost scrapy]# cd Twisted-11.1.0
[root@localhost Twisted-11.1.0]# python setup.py install6、安装w3lib
下载地址如下所示：
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/w3lib
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/w/w3lib/w3lib-1.0.tar.gz#md5=f28aeb882f27a616e0fc43d01f4dcb21
安装过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -xvzf w3lib-1.0.tar.gz
[root@localhost scrapy]# cd w3lib-1.0
[root@localhost w3lib-1.0]# python setup.py install7、安装libxml2
下载地址如下所示：
http://download.chinaunix.net/download.php?id=28497&ResourceID=6095
http://download.chinaunix.net/down.php?id=28497&ResourceID=6095&site=1
或者，可以到网站http://xmlsoft.org上面找到相应版本的压缩包。
安装过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -xvzf libxml2-2.7.4.tar.gz
[root@localhost scrapy]# cd libxml2-2.7.4
[root@localhost libxml2-2.7.4]# ./configure
[root@localhost libxml2-2.7.4]# make
[root@localhost libxml2-2.7.4]# make install8、安装pyOpenSSL
该步骤可选，对应的安装包下载地址为：
https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl
如果需要的话，可以选择需要的版本。我这里直接跳过该步骤。
9、安装Scrapy
下载地址如下所示：
http://scrapy.org/download/
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Scrapy
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/S/Scrapy/Scrapy-0.14.0.2841.tar.gz#md5=fe63c5606ca4c0772d937b51869be200
安装过程如下所示：
[root@localhost scrapy]# tar -xvzf Scrapy-0.14.0.2841.tar.gz
[root@localhost scrapy]# cd Scrapy-0.14.0.2841
[root@localhost Scrapy-0.14.0.2841]# python setup.py install安装验证
经过上面的安装和配置过程，已经完成了Scrapy的安装，我们可以通过如下命令行来验证一下：
[root@localhost scrapy]# scrapy
