Note: If you run into a problem involving Scrapy and (UNKNOWN CHARACTER)uses_query(UNKNOWN CHARACTER), then you are
hitting a bug involving Python 2.7.3 and scrapy. In that case, you should make
the virtualenv again with Python 2.6:
virtualenv -p python2.6 env
After you re-create the virtualenv, you should run the (UNKNOWN CHARACTER)develop(UNKNOWN CHARACTER) command listed
in step 4 again, and now you won(UNKNOWN CHARACTER)t get an error, so you can continue.

A number of people reading the docs have accidentally ran this step as a
required step, which caused serious problems with their virtualenv. We are no
longer supporting python2.6 for this project because scrapy no longer supports
it, so I will remove this info.
