AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTML_PARSE_RECOVER'

[Dmitry Arsentiev]

Hello.

Has anybody already meet the problem like this:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTML_PARSE_RECOVER'

When I run scrapy, I get

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/selector/factories.py",
line 14, in <module>
libxml2.HTML_PARSE_NOERROR + \
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTML_PARSE_RECOVER'


When I run
python -c 'import libxml2; libxml2.HTML_PARSE_RECOVER'

I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTML_PARSE_RECOVER'

How can I cure it?

Python 2.7
libxml2-python 2.6.9
2.6.11-gentoo-r6


I will be grateful for any help.

You are using an old version of libxml2 (2.6.9) which doesn't work. Scrapy recommends 2.6.28 or above in the installation guide. Lower versions may still work but with defects, so I would just stick with 2.6.28 or above.
