py-scrapy: templates unreadable except by root

[moboyle79@…]

I installed py2.7-scrapy, and started following the basic scrapy tutorial ​here, but got an error on the first step (creating a project). The command

scrapy startproject tutorial

gave a bunch of errors about permission denied in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/templates/. The files in there all seemed to be owned by root, with permissions and ownership -rw------- 1 root wheel. Since the scrapy startproject command copies some of these template files, it failed. I solved the problem by simply running

sudo chmod -R +r /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/templates/

Replying to moboyle79@…:

Actually, I went too deep on that last command. It should have been just

sudo chmod -R +r /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/

Can those having this issue; update and try again. It works fine here on Mavericks w/ the python 27 version

In r123923 the port was updated. The templates have now the correct access rights.

Closing!
