Selflessness and Altruism

I am often amazed how it is in the world of "computers" and how awesome some people are.

For a long time, I had been wondering how difficult it would be to integrate Scrapy, a powerful python scraping library, and Django, my webdev framework of choice.

I had read some articles and saved a few of them for further reference and eventual implementation.

But I have to admit that I had the impression I would be hacking together something which would turn out to be more of a headache. Something simply didn't feel right, for whatever reason.

Well, today I found a github repo (https://github.com/adriancast/Scrapyd-Django-Template) Adrian, who in a very altruistic fashion put together a basic template integrating Scrapy and Django.

Loh and behold, I cloned it to my local machine, made a few changes to the requirements.txt file, and successfully ran it without any issues!

Thank you kind stranger!
