Benefits of using scrapy over requests/selenium (lemmy.world)

When I'm writing webscrapers I mostly just pivot between selenium (because the website is too "fancy" and definitely needs a browser) and pure requests calls (both in conjunction with bs4).

But when reading about scrapers, scrapy is often the first mentioned Python package. What am I missing out on if I'm not using it?

Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

also its not just pure "compatibility", but I had a time when I played vids to my TV over an old laptop (from around 2015). Worked like a charm. But some x265 vids went into full-on stutter mode in scenes where a lot of stuff was happening... was more a nuisance than a dealbreaker, but still, preferred x264 versions if I could get them

There is a LinusTechTips Video where they build a PC together (the guy from the original verge video) and he explained what happened. Have nothing but respect for that dude for doing that now...
