Both Twisted and Scrapy have changed their API which has affected WarcMiddleware. Until it is updated, please use Twisted-12.2.0 and Scrapy-0.16.3. I added installation instructions to the root directory as INSTALL.md.

Since you are on Linux/OS X, try running:

pip install twisted==12.2.0
pip install scrapy==0.16.3

Which should change your packages to versions that work with WarcMiddleware.
