Just to make it clear, that link there was not there in the original submission. I actually never heard about it. :)

Sorry guys for the not so informative story up there. Well, Scrapy is an open source framework to build web crawlers in Python. The lack of Python 3 support was a huge blocker for people who wanted to use Scrapy, but didn't want to use Python 2.7 anymore. This is why this release is a milestone for Scrapy users. It's very popular between python developers working with web crawling/web scraping. You can check the project page at GitHub here: https://github.com/scrapy/scra...

This is a huge milestone for all you Scrapy users (and those who haven’t used Scrapy due to the lack of Python 3). Scrapy veterans and new adopters will soon be able to move their entire stack to Python 3 once the release becomes stable. Keep in mind that since this a release candidate, it is not ready to be used in production.
