From Scraper_user.items Import UserItem ImportError: No Module Named Scraper_user.items

I am following this guide for scraping data from instagram: http://www.spataru.at/scraping-instagram-scrapy/ but I get this error: mona@pascal:~/computer_vision/instagram/instagra

Solution 1:

I changed these lines in spider.py:

  3 from instagram.items import UserItem
  4 from instagram.items import PostItem

And these lines in items.py:

  1 import scrapy
  2 from scrapy.item import Item, Field
  3 
  4 class UserItem(Item):
  5     username = Field()
  6     follows_count = Field()
  7     followed_by_count = Field()
  8     is_verified = Field()
  9     biography = Field()
 10     external_link = Field()
 11     full_name = Field()
 12     posts_count = Field()
 13     posts = Field()
 14 
 15 
 16 class PostItem(Item):
 17     code = Field()
 18     likes = Field()
 19     thumbnail = Field()
 20     caption = Field()
 21     hashtags = Field()

While it doesn't have the previous error, it has this new error which I didn't know how to fix:
