title: Scrapy Newbie Question - can't get tutorial file working
body: <p>I am a complete newbie to Python and Scrapy so I started by trying to replicate the tutorial.  I am trying to scrape the www.dmoz.org website as per the tutorial.  </p>
  
  <p>I compose the dmoz_spider.py as indicated below</p>
  
  <pre><code>from scrapy.spider import BaseSpider
  from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector
  
  from dmoz.items import DmozItem
  
  class DmozSpider(BaseSpider):
     name = "dmoz.org"
     allowed_domains = ["dmoz.org"]
     start_urls = [
         "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Books/",
         "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Resources/"
     ]
  
     def parse(self, response):
         hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
         sites = hxs.select('//ul/li')
         items = []
         for site in sites:
             item = DmozItem()
             item['title'] = site.select('a/text()').extract()
             item['link'] = site.select('a/@href').extract()
             item['desc'] = site.select('text()').extract()
             items.append(item)
         return items
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and what I am supposed to get via website is something different.<br>
  any idea what I am screwing up?</p>
