What are some Ruby-based tools that can help me achive something similar to what Scrapy does for python? http://doc.scrapy.org/intro/overview.html

There's Mechanize which is built upon Nokogiri.

There's Nokigiri which is based on XPath.

Hpricot is another tool.

There's Scrapi which is based on CSS selectors to extract information, but performs slower than Nokogiri based on my testing.

There's scRUBYt.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that I came across.

If you don't find a single tool that solves your problems, checkout web spidering libraries like Anemone and combine it with one of the low-level scraping frameworks listed above.

Or just go ahead and learn Python. It'll expand your karma in the programming world.
