This is Windows 7 with python 2.7
I have a scrapy project in a directory called caps (this is where scrapy.cfg is)
My spider is located in caps\\caps\\spiders\\c
Sometime this strange behaviour is caused by LOG_STDOUT = True
LOG_STDOUT = True
It defaults to False though, so check it and if it is set to True - try to set it to default
False
True
LOG_STDOUT = False
This is a logged issue
