Why doesn't my CrawlerProcess have a "scan" function?

    rules = (

        #Follow all links inside <div class="cat"> and calls parse_item on each link
        Rule(LinkExtractor(

        #uncomment for debugging
        #inspect_response(response, self)
        return item

    })



    process1.crawl(MySpider)
    process1.start()

      

        
        
        
      

    

My spider works fine when I run it from the command line with

scrapy crawl example

      

        
        
        
      

    

but I need to run multiple spiders, so I want to put them all in a script and use CrawlerProcess. When I try to run this, I get the error,

AttributeError: 'CrawlerProcess' object has no attribute 'crawl'

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is scrapy version 0.24.6. All elements and pipelines are correct because the spider works from the command line.
