Hello, python-guppy is recommended by python-scrapy because one of it files tries to import it [1]: / | try: | import guppy | hpy = guppy.hpy() | except ImportError: | hpy = None \
As for the not up-to-date package in Debian/Ubuntu, it is due to the Debian Freeze. I have uploaded the 0.9 version of python-scrapy to experimental, as it does not fit to be in squeeze (due to the freeze). I will work on packaging the latest version and upload it on experimental (Debian). Then, a synchronization request can be sent on launchpad asking the Ubuntu Teams to review, and upload the package onto Ubuntu repositories. If you need any help on this part, I would be glad to give you a hand.
