What should I change to the script to download SVG files from wikipedia?

[thenoobdev]

Not sure why, maybe scrapy is updated.. But response.css('.image img ::attr(src)').getall() was returning [] for me.. I changed it to : . Now it's working on my side :)

What do you suggest when I need to collect URLs by following next pages link? How to make full list of all URLs while following the links?

[JohnCarrFitness]

cant you just use xpath so you don't have to create a list if it's only 1 url?

Very good tutorial, tank you so much for uploading it.
A small correction @2:00 its ::attr(src) and not ::atr(src). for me ::atr(src) did not work.

[jeanvonoertzen]

spider didn't launch the first time. If you like me get this error:
ImportError: No module named PIL
In your terminal enter: pip install Pillow
This will install Image library that causes the error.
