Python 3 Support (basic)
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
We have been hard at work to make Scrapy run on Python 3. As a result, now you can run spiders on Python 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, although some features are still missing (some of them may never be ported to Python 3).

Almost all addons/middlewares are expected to work. However, we are aware of
|
||||
some limitations:
|
||||
|
||||
- s3 downloads are not supported (see :issue:`1718`)
|
||||
- sending emails is not supported
|
||||
- FTP download handler is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
|
||||
- FTP download handler is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted
|
||||
dependency)
|
||||
- telnet is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
|
||||
- there are problems with non-ASCII URLs in Python 3
|
||||
- reported problems with HTTP caches created by Scrapy in Python 2.x which can't be reused in Scrapy in Python 3.x (to be checked)
|
||||
- there is also a nasty issue with `cryptography` library: recent versions don't work well on OS X + Python 3.5 (see https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/2690). As a workaround, you can downgrade the library to an older version.
