ImportError: No module named twisted

I installed the Scrapy by following http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/ubuntu.html#topics-ubuntu. The installation went perfectly. But when I run

scrapy startproject myproject

I got the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/karan/coding/bin/scrapy", line 7, in <module>
    from scrapy.cmdline import execute
  File "/home/karan/coding/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/__init__.py", line 50, in <module>
    from twisted import version as _txv
ImportError: No module named twisted

following the installation guide, i did pip install Scrapy (with capital S)

but after that, following the tutorial, I tried to create a project using scrapy startproject myproject, and then ended up with similar error with the one in this thread.

so after that, I tried Scrapy startproject myproject (with capital S), and then everything is working fine.

@karan10 I’ve just commented your proposal in Melange, please check it. Let’s try to keep the discussion in Github, but we should use a proper issue related to your idea to discuss it (this one is a support issue for installing Scrapy, that should be closed because you already fix it).

I recommend you to engage in the discussion of #591, that’s the issue discussing sep-021’s implementation.
