Scrapy does not seem to allow installing previous version.
The methods listed are:
easy_install -U Scrapy and:
pip install Scrapy Both these ways just download the latest versions of Scrapy, which i do not want. How do i get scrapy to download version 0.12?
Try to install it manually:
vic@wic:~$ git clone git://github.com/scrapy/scrapy.git Cloning into 'scrapy'... remote: Counting objects: 24639, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (15949/15949), done. remote: Total 24639 (delta 8402), reused 24317 (delta 8158) Receiving objects: 100% (24639/24639), 10.73 MiB | 639 KiB/s, done.

Switched to a new branch '0.12' vic@wic:~/scrapy$ sudo python setup.py install I know this is an old forum. But i also get stumble into this problem and found the solution which is more simple
You can use
pip install scrapy==1.1 Just change the 1.1 to the version you want I wonder why they didn't place it in documentation because i have a hard time found it
