Scrapy "frontend deprecated" issue with Python

My version is 32-bit Python 2.7. I've installed Scrapy and all the dependencies. But when I try to scrape wikipedia for testing using this line in the command prompt: "Scrapy shell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_page"

The last few lines of the output are as follows:

"C:...\Python27\lib\site-packages\IPython\frontend,py:30: UserWarning: The top-level 'frontend' package has been deprecated. All its subpackages have been moved to the top 'IPython' level. warn<"The top-level 'frontend' package has been deprecated.

In[1]:"

Any idea what "frontend" and "deprecated" mean, and what how to resolve this issue?

      Thanks but it doesn't help. His issue is with SimpleCV and mine is with Scrapy. I tried to open the shell.py from Scrapy like he did with SimpleCV, but I don't see any line similar to:

      "from IPython.frontend.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed"

    I uninstalled IPython and the problem seems to go away, but it's there a solution of using both IPython and Scrapy?
