title: Required files to run Scrapy in Mac OS x 10.7.5, using Python 2.7.3 IEPD_free (32 bit)
body: <p>I am testing scrapy for the first time, and after installing it with the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo easy_install -U scrapy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>everything seems to run ok. However, when I run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>scrapy startproject tutorial
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>luismacbookpro:~ luis$ scrapy startproject tutorial
  Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/scrapy", line 4, in &lt;module&gt;
  import pkg_resources

  raise DistributionNotFound(req)
  pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: lxml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea about what's going on? As you can tell, I am not proficient at all with OSX, and I am still trying to move from a windows "mentality" to OSX, so I don't know where to add paths, modify settings, dependencies, etc. Not even sure how to perform a clean uninstall and start all over.</p>
  
  <p>Any feedback is appreciated, even your suggestions to use alternative python libraries that can perform the same functionality of scrapy. Thanks!</p>
