nandhp / python-imdb Goto Github PK

Currently python-imdb assumes that every supported data file is available in the database. It should be possible to skip some data files and have, e.g. a database that excludes color-info.

I check out your python imdb script, and it works nicely also with aka titles :). Is it also possible to get the IMBD ID (like tt0000111)?

I am trying to run "example.py" and get this error: "IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'imdb.zip.idx'". I am not sure what I am missing.

Hello! I am new to using python to query data. I downloaded the files and followed the instructions to create imdb.zip and imdb.zip.idx.
Now how do I use a file, say "example.py" to actually run queries? When I tried just running "python example.py", I got an error.
Sorry for my ignorance! Any help is appreciated!

When I use the example.py file, I get an error after about 25 movies:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 13, in <module>
    print u'%s has rating %s/10 (%d ratings)' % (title, r.score, r.nratings)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

I have looked on the internet, and I know I should do something with encode('utf-8'), however, I can't seem to find the place in the code where I should add this.

Hello!

I have imdb.zip and imdb.zip.idx properly downloaded. I downloaded just ratings, aka-titles, and movies, as suggested. When I run example.py, I don't get an error, but nothing prints. The titles table seems to not be populating.

I'm wondering what format the imdb.zip data file is in, ideally for reading. I intend to do some processing which involves iterating through movies, and I can't find a way to do anything besides search with this. As far as I can tell, this program does a fine job of cleaning and organizing the raw files from the IMDb, but no way to iterate. Is this possible, and/or is the data format documented (or standard) in a way that I can iterate myself?
