# only the first time we install something
pipx ensurepath
# close and open terminal again
# build, install and run to make sure it works
poetry build
poetry install
poetry run
# install localy with pipx
pipx install .
# now we're able to run it from anywhere
file-enlarger
in this case we invoke it as file-enlarger as the .toml declares it as such
[tool.poetry.scripts]
file-enlarger = "FileEnlarger:main"

# adds executables to global path so you can call them without py -m ...
py -m pipx ensurepath
# close and reopen console
install poetry through pipx
py -m pipx install --user poetry
Scrapy is a web-scrapper & crawler.
spider: class that you define and scrapy uses to scrape information from a website (our a group of websites). They must define the initial requests to make, optionally how to follow links in the pages and how to parse the content to extract data
item pipeline: after an item has been crawled by a spider, it’s sent to the item pipeline which processes it through several components that are executed sequentially. You can use them, for example, to save items to a database
# create a new project
scrapy startproject your_project_name
# after writing a spider, it starts the crawl
scrapy crawl quotes
