[pypy-dev] Scrapy fails in PyPy

[Joe Hillenbrand]

I was able to fix the issue with scrapy.

https://github.com/joehillen/scrapy/commit/8778af5c5be50a5d746751352f8d710d1f24681c

Unfortunately, scrapy takes twice as long in PyPy than in CPython. I
suspect this is because lxml is twice as slow in PyPy vs CPython, which I
found in lxml's benchmarks.

Should lxml be added to the set of speed tests?
