Scrapy ImportError：无法导入名称“ ______Item”

Question

I am new to python 2.7 & Scrapy, and receive the following error when running "scrapy crawl prop$" from the command line. I assume this is a simple fix, thus, any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Error Message:

  File"C:\Anaconda2\propub\propub\spiders\propub_spider.py", line 4, in <module>
    from propub.items import propubItem
ImportError: cannot import name propubItem

items.py :

import scrapy
from scrapy.item import Item, Field

class PropubItem(scrapy.Item):
    payee = scrapy.Field()
    link = scrapy.Field()
    city = scrapy.Field()
    state = scrapy.Field()
    company = scrapy.Field()
    amount =  scrapy.Field()
    pass

    rules = (Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('\\search?page=\\d')), 'parse_start_url', follow=True),)

    def parse(self, response):

            item['amount'] =  sel.xpath('tr[1]/td[7]/span/text()').extract()
            yield item

It is just a typo. Your item class name starts with an upper case letter .

Replace:

from propub.items import propubItem

with:

from propub.items import PropubItem
