Unable to define custom downloader middleware in Scrapy

Question

I am attempting to set up a custom downloader middleware class in Scrapy. I suspect that I\'ve missed something obvious, but I\'ve read over the docs a few times and have found

Answer 1

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = { 'myproject.middlewares.TestDownloader': 400 }

For this to work, create file middlewares.py inside myproject folder, and in that file put your downloader middleware class called TestDownloader.

Or having middlewares folder with __init__.py inside it, you can put put your downloader middleware class called TestDownloader inside __init__.py -- this should work too.
