Overview

The scutils package is a collection of utilities that are used by the Scrapy Cluster project. These utilities are agnostic enough that they can be used by any application.

Requirements

  • Unix based machine (Linux or OS X)

  • Python 2.7.x

Installation

Inside a virtualenv, run pip install -U scutils. This will install the latest version of the Scrapy Cluster Utilities. If you are running a Scrapy Cluster, scutils is included inside of the requirements.txt so there is no need to install it separately.

Documentation

Full documentation for the scutils package is included as part of the Official Scrapy Cluster Documentation, which can be found here under the Utilities section.
