My goal: install python \ scrapy.

Documentation: I follow the instructions here for this documentation.

What is done: All items on the documentation, except for the installation of the Scrapy

Problem: When executing the pip install Scrapy hangs with the message collecting packages...

The cursor blinks, but nothing happens Also pip list hangs in the middle of the execution

Tell me please, what can it be and how can this be solved?

  • may try 'python -m pip install -U pip' - titov_andrei
  • What version of Python do you have? Have you set up a variable environment for pip ? - Wertartem

Please forgive me, but why do you use the “here's that” documentation? There is also the official http://scrapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/install.html There is also described the installation on Windows. I had problems with the installation only with lxml, which was decided by downloading the compiled library from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

PS In the documentation you provided, it is proposed to install easy_install, in order to install pip. This did not need to be done at all, since at the moment the pip is installed along with Python. Perhaps, as a result of your actions, some kind of version conflict arose. Try to really update the pip, as you were advised in the comments, and if it does not work out, then demolish everything and re-install it using the official documentation.
