What Python versions does Scrapy support?
-----------------------------------------
Scrapy runs in Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.6. But it's recommended you use Python 2.6
or above, since the Python 2.5 standard library has a few bugs in their URL
handling libraries. Some of these Python 2.5 bugs not only affect Scrapy but
any user code, such as spiders. You can see a list of `Python 2.5 bugs that
affect Scrapy`_ in the issue tracker.

Does Scrapy work with Python 3.0?
---------------------------------
No, and there are no plans to port Scrapy to Python 3.0 yet. At the moment,
Scrapy works with Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.
