Priority with python-scrapyd-api

[vokhuongcse0604]

I want to set priority for my spider.
I done when set on scrapyd:
curl http://localhost:6800/schedule.json -d project=myproject -d spider=somespider -d priority=1
How can i do like that on python-scrapyd-api?
Thanks.

Looks like priority was a non-documented feature until recently.

The code in scrapyd just pops the priority kwarg off the arguments sent, so this can be done with our API with no code changes:

scrapyd.schedule('myproject', 'somespider', priority=1.1)

Priority should be an integer or a float.

Having said no code changes: I will update the docs to state this, so I'll leave this ticket open for now.

I documented it in 1.1.1 after scrapy/scrapyd#144 (comment)
If you use priorities, make sure you checkout this pitfall scrapy/scrapyd#187
Things should change in scrapyd-1.3

@Digenis Yup, that's what I meant by poorly worded "until recently". Thank you very much for doing it and that helpful extra comment.
