    <p>I'm trying to implement some sort of Item Exporter in my code. My basic code is right now to scrape si.com for batting averages, just as an example. The results are presented in one long row, and I'd like to modify the output as it's stored in the .csv file to put it in a column instead. Below I'm including the spider, and the item exporter I'm using is just the basic one found <a href="http://doc.scrapy.org/topics/exporters.html#using-item-exporters" rel="nofollow">here.</a> What I really want to have happen is take each item and store the results in columns next to each other instead of one long row with all three results consecutively.</p> <pre><code>from scrapy.spider import BaseSpider from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector from scrapy.contrib.exporter import XmlItemExporter from mlb1.items import MlbItem class MLBSpider(BaseSpider): name = "si.com" allowed_domains = ["si.com"] start_urls = [ http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/stats/2011/batting/ml_0_byBATTING_AVG.html" ] def parse(self, response): hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response) sites = hxs.select('//div[@class="cnnSASD_sport-mlb"]/div[@class="cnnSASD_page-leadersPlayersExpandedStats"]/div[@class="cnnStatsContent"]') items = [] for site in sites: item = MlbItem() item['name'] = site.select('//table[@class="cnnSASD_first"]/*/td[@class="cnnCol1"]//text()').extract() item['team'] = site.select('//table[@class="cnnSASD_first"]/*/td[@class="cnnCol2"]//text()').extract() item['batave'] = site.select('//table[@class="cnnSASD_first"]/*/td[@class="cnnColHighlight"]//text()').extract() items.append(item) return items </code></pre> <p>I'm still very new at Python Coding so the scrapy documentation isn't much help. When I try running the code, I get an error of, "ImportError: Error loading object 'mlb1.pipelines.XmlExportPipeline': cannot import name signals". Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
