scrapy import itemloaders ModuleNotFoundError：没有名为“itemloaders”的模块

Question

I had a scrapy project working with version 2.0 but when I upgraded to version 2.4 I am getting the above error.

It seems the be failing in the init.py file below: \\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\scrapy\\loader_ init _.py

on this import line which didn't exist in version 2.0:

import itemloaders

Any ideas why?

Answer 1

Itemloader changed in scrapy 2.3

From scrapy v.2.3 release notes :

The base implementation of item loaders has been moved into a separate library, itemloaders , allowing usage from outside Scrapy and a separate release schedule

Answer 2

It is given in the documentation example about Item Loaders. You have to import ItemLoader from scrapy.loader. Link : https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/loaders.html

Answer 3

As the previous comments say, it's all laid out in the documentation. That being said, I changed the following import statement

from scrapy.loader import ItemLoader

to

from itemloaders import ItemLoader

and it worked.
