Unfortunately wpull only supports Python 3.6, see - ArchiveTeam/wpull#404 - ArchiveTeam/wpull#451 Django 4.0 dropped support for Python 3.6, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/releases/4.0/#python-compatibility In order to integrate wpull with the viewer application, we need to downgrade the viewer Django version from 4.0 to 3.2.

This change adds a new management command (manage.py crawl) that crawls a website directly into a SQLite database, using the wpull package: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/wpull Usage: manage.py crawl [OPTIONS] START_URL DB_FILENAME

This PR adds an alternate method of crawling a website based on wpull.
The current approach uses 2 steps:
warc_to_db) to convert the WARC to a queryable SQLite databaseThe new approach uses only a single step:
This can be done using a new Django management command:
Because wpull unfortunately doesn't support Python greater than 3.6 (ArchiveTeam/wpull#426), this new approach requires downgrading the runtime of this repo to Python 3.6 as well. This in turn requires downgrading Django from version 4.x back to 3.2.
