Scrapy运行命令

一般来说，运行Scrapy项目的写法有，（这里不考虑从脚本运行Scrapy）


                                                            
Usage examples:
$ scrapy crawl myspider
[ ... myspider starts crawling ... ]
$ scrapy runspider myspider.py
[ ... spider starts crawling ... ]

但是更好的写法是，新建一个Python文件，如下，（便于调试）


                                                            
from scrapy import cmdline
cmdline.execute("scrapy crawl myspider".split())

很容易就发现，Scrapy运行文件是cmdline.py文件里面的execute()函数，下面学习下这个函数在做什么。

分析源码


                                                            
def execute(argv=None, settings=None):
    if argv is None:
        argv = sys.argv
    # --- backwards compatibility for scrapy.conf.settings singleton ---
    if settings is None and 'scrapy.conf' in sys.modules:
        from scrapy import conf
        if hasattr(conf, 'settings'):
            settings = conf.settings
    # ------------------------------------------------------------------

寻找 scrapy.conf配置文件，argv直接取sys.argv


                                                            
if settings is None:
    settings = get_project_settings()
    # set EDITOR from environment if available
    try:
        editor = os.environ['EDITOR']
    except KeyError: pass
    else:
        settings['EDITOR'] = editor
check_deprecated_settings(settings)
# --- backwards compatibility for scrapy.conf.settings singleton ---
import warnings
from scrapy.exceptions import ScrapyDeprecationWarning
with warnings.catch_warnings():
    warnings.simplefilter("ignore", ScrapyDeprecationWarning)
    from scrapy import conf
    conf.settings = settings
# ------------------------------------------------------------------

set EDITOR from environment if available

读取settings设置文件，导入项目，调用get_project_settings()函数，此处为utils文件夹下的project.py文件：


                                                            
def get_project_settings():
    if ENVVAR not in os.environ:
        project = os.environ.get('SCRAPY_PROJECT', 'default')
        init_env(project)

project.py

init_env() 函数如下：


                                                            
def init_env(project='default', set_syspath=True):
    """Initialize environment to use command-line tool from inside a project
    dir. This sets the Scrapy settings module and modifies the Python path to
    be able to locate the project module.
    """
    cfg = get_config()
    if cfg.has_option('settings', project):
        os.environ['SCRAPY_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = cfg.get('settings', project)
    closest = closest_scrapy_cfg()
    if closest:
        projdir = os.path.dirname(closest)
        if set_syspath and projdir not in sys.path:
            sys.path.append(projdir)

conf.py

如注释所说，初始化环境,循环递归找到用户项目中的配置文件settings.py,并且将其设置到环境变量Scrapy settings module中。然后修改Python路径，确保能找到项目模块。


                                                            

settings = Settings()
settings_module_path = os.environ.get(ENVVAR)
if settings_module_path:
    settings.setmodule(settings_module_path, priority='project')
# XXX: remove this hack
pickled_settings = os.environ.get("SCRAPY_PICKLED_SETTINGS_TO_OVERRIDE")
if pickled_settings:
    settings.setdict(pickle.loads(pickled_settings), priority='project')
# XXX: deprecate and remove this functionality
env_overrides = {k[7:]: v for k, v in os.environ.items() if
                 k.startswith('SCRAPY_')}
if env_overrides:
    settings.setdict(env_overrides, priority='project')
return settings

project.py

至此，get_project_settings()该函数结束，如函数名字一样，最后返回项目配置，到此为止，接着往下看


                                                            
inproject = inside_project()
cmds = _get_commands_dict(settings, inproject)
cmdname = _pop_command_name(argv)
parser = optparse.OptionParser(formatter=optparse.TitledHelpFormatter(), \
    conflict_handler='resolve')
if not cmdname:
    _print_commands(settings, inproject)
    sys.exit(0)
elif cmdname not in cmds:
    _print_unknown_command(settings, cmdname, inproject)
    sys.exit(2)

导入相应的module爬虫模块（inside_project）

执行环境是否在项目中，主要检查scrapy.cfg配置文件是否存在，读取commands文件夹，把所有的命令类转换为{cmd_name: cmd_instance}的字典


                                                            
cmd = cmds[cmdname]
parser.usage = "scrapy %s %s" % (cmdname, cmd.syntax())
parser.description = cmd.long_desc()
settings.setdict(cmd.default_settings, priority='command')
cmd.settings = settings
cmd.add_options(parser)
opts, args = parser.parse_args(args=argv[1:])
_run_print_help(parser, cmd.process_options, args, opts)

根据命令名称找到对应的命令实例，设置项目配置和级别为command，添加解析规则，解析命令参数，并交由Scrapy命令实例处理。

最后，看看下面这段代码。


                                                            
cmd.crawler_process = CrawlerProcess(settings)
_run_print_help(parser, _run_command, cmd, args, opts)
sys.exit(cmd.exitcode)

初始化CrawlerProcess实例，将对应的命令执行，这里是crawl


                                                            
def _run_command(cmd, args, opts):
    if opts.profile:
        _run_command_profiled(cmd, args, opts)
    else:
        cmd.run(args, opts)

看到这，想起了文档中的介绍 Run Scrapy from a script


                                                            
# Here’s an example showing how to run a single spider with it.
import scrapy
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    # Your spider definition
    ...
process = CrawlerProcess({
    'USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)'
})
process.crawl(MySpider)
process.start() # the script will block here until the crawling is finished

所以Scrapy爬虫运行都有用使用到CrawlerProcess，想要深入了解可以去看看源码 scrapy/scrapy/crawler.py


                                                            
"""
A class to run multiple scrapy crawlers in a process simultaneously.
This class extends :class:`~scrapy.crawler.CrawlerRunner` by adding support
for starting a Twisted `reactor`_ and handling shutdown signals, like the
keyboard interrupt command Ctrl-C. It also configures top-level logging.
This utility should be a better fit than
:class:`~scrapy.crawler.CrawlerRunner` if you aren't running another
Twisted `reactor`_ within your application.
The CrawlerProcess object must be instantiated with a
:class:`~scrapy.settings.Settings` object.
:param install_root_handler: whether to install root logging handler
    (default: True)
This class shouldn't be needed (since Scrapy is responsible of using it
accordingly) unless writing scripts that manually handle the crawling
process. See :ref:`run-from-script` for an example.
"""

最后，附上Scrapy的路径图

总结

简单来说，有这么几步：

读取配置文件，应用到爬虫中
把所有的命令类转换名称与实例字典
初始化CrawlerProcess实例，运行爬虫

(看的头疼，好多函数名记不住)
