Bump scrapy from 1.5.0 to 2.4.1

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps scrapy from 1.5.0 to 2.4.1.

Release notes

Sourced from scrapy's releases.

2.4.1

• Fixed feed exports overwrite support

• Fixed the asyncio event loop handling, which could make code hang

• Fixed the IPv6-capable DNS resolver CachingHostnameResolver for download handlers that call reactor.resolve

• Fixed the output of the genspider command showing placeholders instead of the import part of the generated spider module (issue 4874)

2.4.0

Hihglights:

• Python 3.5 support has been dropped.

• The file_path method of media pipelines can now access the source item.

  This allows you to set a download file path based on item data.

• The new item_export_kwargs key of the FEEDS setting allows to define keyword parameters to pass to item exporter classes.

• You can now choose whether feed exports overwrite or append to the output file.

  For example, when using the crawl or runspider commands, you can use the -O option instead of -o to overwrite the output file.

• Zstd-compressed responses are now supported if zstandard is installed.

• In settings, where the import path of a class is required, it is now possible to pass a class object instead.

See the full changelog

2.3.0

Hihglights:

• Feed exports now support Google Cloud Storage as a storage backend

• The new FEED_EXPORT_BATCH_ITEM_COUNT setting allows to deliver output items in batches of up to the specified number of items.

  It also serves as a workaround for delayed file delivery, which causes Scrapy to only start item delivery after the crawl has finished when using certain storage backends (S3, FTP, and now GCS).

• The base implementation of item loaders has been moved into a separate library, itemloaders, allowing usage from outside Scrapy and a separate release schedule

See the full changelog

2.2.1

The startproject command no longer makes unintended changes to the permissions of files in the destination folder, such as removing execution permissions.

2.2.0

Highlights:

• Python 3.5.2+ is required now
