EDIT:
Also while searching for whether a new request has been filed under such category I've found something like this:
Status: REOPENED, NEW, ASSIGNED, UNCONFIRMED
Product: dev-python/scrapy
Component: dev-python/scrapy
Alias: dev-python/scrapy
Summary: dev-python/scrapy
Whiteboard: dev-python/scrapy
Content: "dev-python/scrapy"
I'm not really sure what the above meant, may be it's indicating that it has already been requested/considered?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Well I've managed to install it using Python, sorry I forgot that it could be done like that.
