Scrapy installation fails
Question: Below is the end of the log file with the error I receive when I try to
install Scrapy. I am rather inexperienced so it may be obvious to one of you.
My computer is windows 8.1 64-bit. I have looked at the msvccompliler.px and
there is no apparent indent error at the given line.I am pretty sure this
stems from the openssl portion of the install. Thanks in advance for any help.

File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\command\build_ext.py", line 23, in

    
    
    from distutils.msvccompiler import get_build_version
    

File "C:\Python27\lib\distutils\msvccompiler.py", line 159

    
    
    return 9.0
    
    ^

Answer: If you are using a text editor for your code (ie. sublime text, notepad++,
etc) try to open the script with the indent error and try to convert tabs to
spaces. Sometimes tabs mixed with spaces will cause "unexpected indent".
