I am using the below code:

from scrapy.spiders import Spider
from scrapy.selector import Selector
from imdb.items import ImdbItem


class ImdbSpider(Spider):
    name = "imdb"
    allowed_domains = ["imdb.com"]
    start_urls = [
        "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/reviews?ref_=%20best",

    ]
def parse(self, response):
    sel = Selector(response)
    ratings = sel.xpath('//div[contains(@id,"tn15content")]/div/img')
    items = []

        for rating in ratings:
        item = ImdbItem()
        item['rating'] = rating.xpath('/@alt').extract()
        items.append(item)  

return items

I am sorry if this is a very basic question but I am very new to python and web scraping and can't really figure out how to achieve so would someone kindly guide me??

The / is extra, use:

rating.xpath('@alt').extract_first()
