Scrapy中的Reponse和它的子类（TextResponse、HtmlResponse、XmlResponse）

今天用scrapy爬取壁纸的时候（url：http://pic.netbian.com/4kmein...）絮叨了一些问题，记录下来，供后世探讨，以史为鉴。**

由于网站是动态渲染的，因此选择scrapy对接selenium（scrapy抓取网页的方式和requests库类似，都是直接模拟HTTP请求，而Scrapy也不能抓取JavaScript动态渲染的网页。）

因此在Downloader Middlewares中须要获得Request而且返回一个Response，问题出在Response，经过查看官方文档发现class scrapy.http.Response(url[, status=200, headers=None, body=b'', flags=None, request=None])，随即经过from scrapy.http import Response导入Response

输入scrapy crawl girl
获得以下错误：
*results=response.xpath('//[@id="main"]/div[3]/ul/lia/img')
raise NotSupported("Response content isn't text")
scrapy.exceptions.NotSupported: Response content isn't text**
检查相关代码：

# middlewares.py
from scrapy import signals
from scrapy.http import Response
from scrapy.exceptions import IgnoreRequest
import selenium
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
class Pic4KgirlDownloaderMiddleware(object):
    # Not all methods need to be defined. If a method is not defined,
    # scrapy acts as if the downloader middleware does not modify the
    # passed objects.

    def process_request(self, request, spider):
        # Called for each request that goes through the downloader
        # middleware.

        # Must either:
        # - return None: continue processing this request
        # - or return a Response object
        # - or return a Request object
        # - or raise IgnoreRequest: process_exception() methods of
        #   installed downloader middleware will be called
        try:
            self.browser=selenium.webdriver.Chrome()
            self.wait=WebDriverWait(self.browser,10)
            
            self.browser.get(request.url)
            self.wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#main > div.page > a:nth-child(10)')))
            return Response(url=request.url,status=200,request=request,body=self.browser.page_source.encode('utf-8'))
        #except:
            #raise IgnoreRequest()
        finally:
            self.browser.close()

推断问题出在：
return Response(url=request.url,status=200,request=request,body=self.browser.page_source.encode('utf-8'))
查看Response类的定义发现：

@property
    def text(self):
        """For subclasses of TextResponse, this will return the body
        as text (unicode object in Python 2 and str in Python 3)
        """
        raise AttributeError("Response content isn't text")

    def css(self, *a, **kw):
        """Shortcut method implemented only by responses whose content
        is text (subclasses of TextResponse).
        """
        raise NotSupported("Response content isn't text")

    def xpath(self, *a, **kw):
        """Shortcut method implemented only by responses whose content
        is text (subclasses of TextResponse).
        """
        raise NotSupported("Response content isn't text")

说明Response类不能够被直接使用，须要被继承重写方法后才能使用

响应子类：

**TextResponse对象**
class scrapy.http.TextResponse(url[, encoding[, ...]])
**HtmlResponse对象**
class scrapy.http.HtmlResponse(url[, ...])
**XmlResponse对象**
class scrapy.http.XmlResponse（url [，... ] ）

举例观察TextResponse的定义
from scrapy.http import TextResponse
导入TextResponse
发现

class TextResponse(Response):

    _DEFAULT_ENCODING = 'ascii'

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self._encoding = kwargs.pop('encoding', None)
        self._cached_benc = None
        self._cached_ubody = None
        self._cached_selector = None
        super(TextResponse, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

其中xpath方法已经被重写

@property
    def selector(self):
        from scrapy.selector import Selector
        if self._cached_selector is None:
            self._cached_selector = Selector(self)
        return self._cached_selector

    def xpath(self, query, **kwargs):
        return self.selector.xpath(query, **kwargs)

    def css(self, query):
        return self.selector.css(query)

因此用户想要调用Response类，必须选择调用其子类,而且重写部分方法
