Scrapy handles interruptions during requests in a web crawler by using a combination of built-in mechanisms and user-defined settings to ensure that requests are completed where possible, while gracefully handling any unexpected errors or interruptions that occur.

Some specific features of Scrapy that help it handle interruptions include:

1. Retry middleware: If a request fails to complete due to a network error or other issue, Scrapy's built-in retry middleware can automatically re-queue and retry the request, up to a configurable maximum number of times.

2. User-defined settings: Scrapy allows users to set various settings that control the behavior of the crawler, such as maximum concurrent requests, maximum retries per request, and how long to wait between retries.

3. Signal handlers: Scrapy emits various signals that can be listened to and acted upon by external code. For example, the spider_closed signal can be used to save the state of the spider when it is interrupted, so that it can be resumed later.

4. Spider middleware: Users can define their own middleware that can intercept requests and responses, allowing them to modify or handle them in custom ways.

Overall, Scrapy's combination of built-in retry mechanisms and user-defined settings, along with signals and middleware, allow it to handle interruptions during requests in a web crawler in a flexible and resilient way.
