Description: **arackpy**
        ===========
        
        **arackpy** is a web spider used to crawl and scrape web pages. It can be
        helpful in the event you quickly need some data from a site without the hassle
        of having to sign up and go through hoops for getting access to the information
        you need.
        
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        **arackpy** currently supports Python 2.7 and 3.6+ out of the box. Depending on
        the data you want to extract, future releases will require one or more of the
        dependencies below to be installed to support the various backends:
        
        * BeautifulSoup
        * Selenium
        * requests
        * stem
        * fake_useragent
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        For the vanilla **arackpy** install do a simple pip install:
        
            pip install arackpy
        
        The following packages may also be installed:
        
            pip install bs4, selenium, requests, stem, fake_useragent
        
        
        Quickstart
        ----------
        
        Open up your favorite python text editor and type the following:
        
            # hello_spider.py
        
            from __future__ import division     # for python 2.7
        
            from arackpy.spider import Spider
        
        
            class HelloSpider(Spider):
                """A simple spider in just five lines of working code"""
        
                start_urls = ["https://www.python.org"]
        
                def parse(self, url, html):
                    """Extract data from the raw html"""
                    print("Crawling url, %s" % url)
        
        
            if __name__ == "__main__":
                print("Press Ctrl-c to stop crawling")
                spider = HelloSpider()
                spider.crawl()
        
        Run the program using:
        
            python hello_spider.py
        
        Note
        
        Press Ctrl-c to terminate crawling.
