I don't have many of the non standard library modules that you are using 
so I commented out a lot of stuff just to get to what I believe is the 
first problem:

from _datetime import datetime
from unicodedata import name
#import pymongo
#from craigslist import CraigslistJobs
#from pymongo import MongoClient
#from scrapy.utils import url
# database
#try:
     #client = MongoClient()
     #print("Connected Successfully!")
#except:
     #print("Could Not Connect !")
# dbase client
#client = MongoClient()
#client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
# dbase
#db = client['craigslistResults']
# write to database
mydict = {'name': name.get_text(),
           #'url': url.get_text(),
           'datetime': datetime.get_text(),
           'price': price.get_text()
           }

and here's the traceback I got:
python tutor.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "tutor.py", line 20, in <module>
     mydict = {'name': name.get_text(),
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 
'get_text'

It surprises me that the error reported wasn't
NameError: name 'name' is not defined


I suggest you send the Traceback you are getting to the list.
