I am new to Canopy. I have some data mining projects that I would like to do using Python. I was wondering if anyone was able to install Scrapy under Canopy? Is it easy to install packages outside of the main repository?

Short answer is to try pip install scrapy
from the command line (use the Canopy Command Prompt (Windows) or Canopy Terminal (OSX/Linux) found in the Tools menu; this ensures Canopy's User Python is on the PATH).
See this article in the Enthought Knowledge Base about installing external packages into Canopy. It provides information on the steps required, including the use of pip
, as well as other considerations you will want to be aware of when installing external packages.
