Scrapy Pipeline Error Cannot Import Name

I am new to python programming and using scrapy. I have setup my crawler and so far it was working until I got to the point where I wanted to figure out how to download images. The

Solution 1:

You tried to pass list, but this function accepts only string. Pass only one element from list (for example list[0]).

Solution 2:

Heres my final code thats working. There was two issues

1: I was missing the second backslash that needede to be in the request --> //td[1]/a[3]/img/@data-original

2: I had to check the full URL in which the image would be displayed and join them together which was the main URL or the allowed URL and the image URL.

def parse(self, response):
    hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
    images = hxs.select('//tr')
    url = []
    for image in images:
        urls = NsiscrapeItem()
        urls['image_urls'] = ["http://www.yachtauctions.com" +  x for x in image.select('//td[1]/a[3]/img/@data-original').extract()]
        url.append(urls)
    return url

Solution 3:

That isn't part of the library :) - at least by looking at their current master branch

I think you're looking for ImagesPipeline

Their example may help! example

p.s. I don't think you custom name the class - at least not by how scapy is designed; i'm reasonably sure you use their class ;)
