You can try to run, from the main directory of the IMDbPY package, this: python setup.py install it should take care of all the dependencies, provided that you have a working environment to compile the needed libraries and/or that they are pre-packaged for MacOS X (I don't know, since I don't use it). Basically, the point is: - try to install it (it will try to fetch some dependencies and compile some modules) - if some dependency fails, try to satisfy it manually. - if there's no way and/or the compile step stops you, see the options shown by the setup.py file to exclude some pieces of IMDbPY. It would be cool to have an auto-installer for Mac OS X or at least the steps to follow to manage the installation of python modules; is anyone out there expert on the subject? :-) HTH, </pre> Davide Alberani 2012-05-24T21:28:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy.user/469 <pre>Hi, I am an unexperienced programmer trying to run imdppy2sql.py in order to create a local sql database of imdb's data. Thus far, here is what I have done: 1. Downloaded all the plain text files from imdb into a single directory: "/Users/TPF/Desktop/imdb/" 2. Downloaded Mamp and created a mysql database called "imdb" 3. Downloaded the latest version of sql object by typing "svn co http://svn.colorstudy.com/sqlobject/trunk SQLobject into the command line 4. Downloaded the stable version of IMDbPY - 4.8.2 5. Navigated to the IMDbPY folder by typing "cd /Users/TPF/Desktop/IMDbPY-4.8.2" into the command line. 6. Entered this into the command line to execute the script: "python bin/imdbpy2sql.py -d /Users/TPF/Desktop/imdb/ -u mysql://root:root&lt; at &gt;localhost:8889/imdb" However, this seems to continually return this error: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/imdbpy2sql.py", line 34, in &lt;module&gt; from imdb.parser.sql.dbschema import * ImportError: No module named imdb.parser.sql.dbschema" Yet, when I navigate to this folder, I see the script "dbschema.py" in the correct location. I have searched on the internet and suspect that the problem may have to do with my version of SQLobject, Python (2.6.1), or my OS (Mac OSX 10.6.8). However, due to my lack of experience, I am not sure how best to redress these issues or where to start first. Can somebody please help walk me through this? I'd be more than willing to compensate you for your time.

For movies, you can use something like: SELECT MAX(id) FROM title; After that you can write a Python script to extract the information. Something like this (beware that it's mostly pseudo-code) should work: from imdb import IMDb ia = IMDb('sql', uri='mysql://USERNAME:PASSWORD&lt; at &gt;localhost/imdb') for idx in xrange(idx, MAX_ID+1): # get the movie object. movie = ia.get_movie(idx) # fetch all other information, if you need them. # ia.update(movie, 'all') # or maybe you're only interested in goofs: # ia.update(movie, 'goofs') # get the XML representation, and do what you want with it. xml = movie.asXML() # YOUR XML PROCESSING HERE You better put all the code inside the 'for' cycle in a try/except clause, since a lot of things can go wrong... just skip to the next item.

My fault: I misunderstood the problem. No, IMDbPY uses urllib, and it doesn't provide a way to set a timeout. urllib2 has it, but only in very recent python versions, so I'd prefer not to use it (and, by the way, a conversion from urllib to urllib2 would take me some time). Yes, it's more or less reasonable, but I want to think twice about it, before I introduce an alarm in the IMDbPY code... after all i's a library and it could heavily interfere with signal handling made by the programs that uses it. :-( Real point is, it's very strange that it happens so methodically on your system... I think I've never seen it hangs during a request. Anyway, if you can try to put _before_ IMDb is imported/instanced this: import socket socket.setdefaulttimeout(10) With that, at least the 'open' should fail after at most 10 seconds. If this doesn't work for you, it means that the connection is established, but hangs (or is really slow) reading the data.
