title: Running Scrapy from a script - Hangs
body: <p>I'm trying to run scrapy from a script as discussed <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scrapy-users/8zL8W3SdQBo" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.  It suggested using <a href="http://snippets.scrapy.org/snippets/13/" rel="noreferrer">this</a> snippet, but when I do it hangs indefinitely. This was written back in version .10; is it still compatible with the current stable?</p>
