CSS选择器的语法比XPath更简单一些，但功能不如XPath强大。实际上，当我们调用Selector对象的CSS方法时，在其内部会使用Python库cssselect将CSS选择器表达式翻译成XPath表达式，然后调用Selector对象的XPATH方法。
表列出了CSS选择器的一些基本语法
先创建一个HTML文档并构造一个HtmlResponse对象：
>>> from scrapy.selector import Selector
>>> from scrapy.http import HtmlResponse
>>> body = '''
... <html>
... <head>
... <base href='http://example.com/' />
... <title>Example website</title>
... </head>
... <body>
... <div id='images-1' style="width: 1230px;">
... <a href='image1.html'>Name: Image 1 <br/><img src='image1.jpg' /></a>
... <a href='image2.html'>Name: Image 2 <br/><img src='image2.jpg' /></a>
... <a href='image3.html'>Name: Image 3 <br/><img src='image3.jpg' /></a>
... </div>
...
... <div id='images-2' class='small'>
... <a href='image4.html'>Name: Image 4 <br/><img src='image4.jpg' /></a>
... <a href='image5.html'>Name: Image 5 <br/><img src='image5.jpg' /></a>
... </div>
... </body>
... </html>
... '''
>>> response = HtmlResponse(url='http://www.example.com', body=body, encoding='utf8')● E1 E2：选中E1后代元素中的E2元素。
# div 后代中的img
>>> response.css('div img')

# 选中包含style属性的元素

1230px;'>]● E:nth-child(n)：选中E元素，且该元素必须是其父元素的第n个子元素。
# 选中每个div的第一个a
>>> response.css('div>a:nth-child(1)')
[<Selector xpath="descendant-or-self::div/*[name() = 'a' and (position() = 1)]" data='<a

● E:last-child：选中E元素，该元素必须是其父元素的倒数第一个子元素。
# 选中第一个div的最后一个a
>>> response.css('div:first-child>a:last-child')
[<Selector xpath="descendant-or-self::*/*[name() = 'div' and (position() = 1)]/*[name() = 'a' and
(position() = last())]" data='<a href="image3.html">Name: Image 3 <br>'>]● E::text：选中E元素的文本节点。
# 选中所有a的文本
>>> sel = response.css('a::text')
>>> sel

<Selector xpath='descendant-or-self::a/text()' data='Name: Image 2 '>,
