How can I get the response from the Request in Scrapy?

Is there any way that I can get the response.body from the Request function in scrapy?

I have this:

request = Request("http://www.example.com",  callback = self.mytest)

def mytest(self, response)
     return response.body

Now I want to get response.body in a Python variable, How can I get that?

I want something like

myresponse = Request("http://www.example.com").get('response')

Is there a way to get the Response from a Request you just created? No, only the callback function has access to the Response. Once inside the callback you can access the Request via response.request, but not vise-versa.
