Why type pip install Scrapy will install 1.8.0 version ?

mac: 10.15.5

I have installed scrapy 1.8.0, I want to upgrade to 2.1.0

So I type sudo pip install --upgrade scrapy, it is not working.

Then I try to reinstall scrapy on terminal. Here is my step:

1. python --version (print Python 3.7.6)
2. sudo pip uninstall scrapy (uninstall successfully)
3. sudo pip install Scrapy
4. Scrapy --version

the terminal shows Scrapy 1.8.0 - no active project

Why I can’t install 2.1.0 version ?

Seems like your system-wide python binary is Python 2, which is not supported anymore since Scrapy 2.0. I’d recommend you to install Scrapy using Python 3, within a virtual environment, i.e.:

$ python3 -m venv my-venv
$ source my-venv/bin/activate
$ pip install scrapy

@elacuesta Yes, virtual environment is working. Thank you very much.
