scrapy newbie: tutorial. there is an error when running scrapy crawl dmoz

Question

I am a newbie to python. I am running python 2.7.2 version 64 bit on 64 bit windows 7. I followed the tutorial and installed scrapy on my machine. Then I created one project, demoz. But when I enter scrapy crawl demoz it shows an error.

Answer 1

Can you please verify the name of the spider in the project you have created "demoz" or "dmoz" ?

You specified "dmoz" as the spider name in the command

d:\Scrapy workspace\tutorial>scrapy crawl dmoz
