@rachelroll scrapy.log module has been removed in 1.7 version, after a long deprecation period. Please switch to stdlib logging.

@kmike Hi, I just installed the latest version of scrapy, but there is not log.py in “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/scrapy”. So I still got the error: ImportError: cannot import name ‘log’ from ‘scrapy’ (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/scrapy/init.py). Could you pls help with it. I appreciate that very much.
