    def parse(self, response):
        # Parsing task or new page from "response"
        ...
        # Yield a task package
        yield TaskPackage('https://www.a.com/task1')
        ...
        # Yield a url or a url list
        yield 'https://www.a.com/page2'
        ...
        yield ['https://www.a.com/page3', 'https://www.a.com/page4']

    @classmethod
    def subprocess_handler(cls, package, sleep_time, timeout, retry):
        url = package.url
        # Request "url" and parse data
        ...
        # Return result package
        return MyResultPackage('value1', 'value2')

    @staticmethod
    def process_result_package(package):

        if 'value1' == package.prop1:
            return package
        else:
            return None


if __name__ == '__main__':
    s = MySpider()

    # Start the spider
    s.start()

    # Block current process
    s.join()

    # Export results to csv file
    s.to_csv('result.csv')

    # Export results to json file
    s.to_json('result.json')

FileSpider

from MultiprocessingSpider.spiders import FileSpider
from MultiprocessingSpider.packages import FilePackage


class MySpider(FileSpider):

    stream = True

    buffer_size = 1024

    overwrite = False

    def router(self, url):

    def parse(self, response):
        # Parsing task or new page from "response"

Release Note

v1.1.2

Refactor

• Remove property "name" from "FileDownloader".
• Complete class "UserAgentGenerator" in "MultiprocessingSpider.Utils".
• Continue to optimize the setter method of each property. An exception will be raised if the value is invalid. "sleep_time" now can be set to 0.
• Change the sleep strategy of subprocess, subprocess will sleep after receiving the task package to prevent multiple requests from being sent at the same time.
