No module named 'scrapy.conf'

Question

I'm trying to execute Twitter scraper code from: https://github.com/jonbakerfish/TweetScraper

When I run the command scrapy list in the command prompt to ensure the scraper is properly set up, I get the following error:

from scrapy.conf import settings
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scrapy.conf'".

I have tried to reinstall scrapy and many other ways, but it seems in vain. Could someone please help me?

Answer 1

As Augusto Men has mentioned above, scrapy.conf was deprecated. To access the project settings with Scrapy >= v1.7 you use:

from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings
settings = get_project_settings()
# Use the settings

I think the place to ask this would be Stack Overflow, but to answer your question, the module scrapy.conf was deprecated and removed in Scrapy 1.7 (http://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/news.html#deprecation-removals).
