ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scrapy' for MAC OSX

Question

Using Python Version 2.7.10 I downloaded Scrapy and on Version 1.4.0 I'm questioning where exactly I need to have these installed? I changed my filename from scrapy.py to scrapy123.py to no avail. I'm frustrated! ha

Receiving the infamous error of:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/william/PycharmProjects/scrapy123.py", line 1, in <module>
    import scrapy
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scrapy'

Script:

import scrapy
    class BlogSpider(scrapy.Spider):
      name = 'blogspider'
      start_urls = ['https://blog.scrapinghub.com']

    def parse(self, response):
         for title in response.css('h2.entry-title'):
            yield {'title': title.css('a ::text').extract_first()}

               next_page = response.css('div.prev-post > a 
                     ::attr(href)').extract_first()
        if next_page:
            yield scrapy.Request(response.urljoin(next_page), 
callback=self.parse)

Answer 1

using the pep-0328 __future__ absolute_import helps to make this less ambiguous and has been supported from 2.5.

from __future__ import absolute_import

Then you can simply import .scrappy and make sure it is loading the version expected. It will also help when moving to Python3
