Comments on this? Not that SVN isn't working, but I ran into some problems (especially tagging/copy releases - problems that I've solved ignoring them, since they aren't big deals, but...) I'm doing some experiments and it looks easy to preserve the commit history of SVN.

Basically, you can use the --csv-only-write and --csv-only-load to decouple two phases: in the first run of the imdbpy2sql.py script, the old database is scrapped and the CSV files are created; in the second run, these CSV files are used to (re)populate the database. This should be useful under some circumstances. Moreover, in the 'goodies' directory under 'docs' you'll find two shell (bash) scripts to handle the plain text data files: applydiffs.sh applies one or more 'diffs files' to your set of plain text data files; reduce.sh takes a set of plain text data files and create a "slimmed down" version of them, considering only 1% of any file. This is mostly useful to debug and test the imdbpy2sql.py script. </pre> Davide Alberani 2010-02-01T16:16:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/695 <pre>Just to inform Postgresql users. It seems that SQLObject 0.13 and 0.12 have a small bug which prevents the imdbpy2sql.py to work, if you're using Postgresql (only with the psycopg2 module). A patch (for SQLObject, I mean) will be available shortly, in the meanwhile you can: - downgrade SQLObject to 0.11. - use imdbpy2sql.py with SQLAlchemy (see README.sqldb). - use another module instead of psycopg2. </pre> Davide Alberani 2010-01-04T13:26:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/694 <pre>I'm trying to make IMDbPY more robust to errors: actually even a small change to IMDb's web site can trigger an exception in our parsers. I've committed to the SVN [1] a new version, with support for logging [2], and I've made some small changes to the DOM parser (see the class imdb.parser.http.utils.DOMParserBase) so that most of the errors are caught and (hopefully) nicely handled. The default setting are in the imdb._logging module. Notice that the code still raises some exceptions: when you're in a situation that is not recoverable, you're expected to explode. :-) On the other hand, every time something goes wrong parsing/processing the data, a message is logged an the code tries to go on. Things to do and sill open to debate: - I really do hope that this will not slow down the stream of bug reports. :-) - actually the logs are written to standard error; in the future there will be a mean to override this (it can already be done in code) and to set things like logLevel, maybe in the .INI file. - I'm not completely sure about how we should/could integrate the logging system with the "warnings" module already used here and there. "warnings" has the nice feature that every message is issued just one time, and there are spots in with this behaviour is useful. - the root logger for IMDbPY is called "imdbpy"; right now the only used logger is "imdbpy.parser.http.domparser" (scopes are funny and useful! ;-) - so far only the "http" parsers are affected: the next on the list are the "mobile" parsers, and maybe something here and there in the main code (where I don't think there will be much need). As usual, any help is greatly appreciated! +++ [1] http://imdbpy.sf.net/?page=download#svn [2] the Python logging package is the best thing since Python itself. ;-) See the docs: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html </pre> Davide Alberani 2009-12-22T13:01:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/682 <pre>I upgraded to 4.3svn20091112 to get imdbpy working again after imdb apparently changed their code a bit, but now runtime doesn't seem to be being parsed correctly. &lt;Movie id:0068646[http] title:_The Godfather (1972)_&gt; [] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Talking with Turgut we came up with a draft of possible solution; it _can't be_ perfect, but it uses some smartness to guess the language of (the title of) a movie. What we need from you is: 1. the name of your language and a list of countries in which it's the main lang (see the _LANG_COUNTRIES dictionary in the new articles.py file [1]). 2. a list of articles (if possible in order of using frequency) in that language - see the LANG_ARTICLES dictionary. An example that actually works: from imdb import IMDb ia = IMDb('http') m = ia.get_movie('0095016') # Die Hard (1988), a well known problematic case print m['canonical title'], '::', m['smart canonical title'] print m['long imdb canonical title'], '::', m['smart long imdb canonical title'] How it works: - the utils.canonicalTitle and the utils.build_title functions now accept the 'lang' argument, which can be None (in this case the old behaviour is triggered - and the same is true if the given lang is not known) or can be any language specified in the articles.LANG_ARTICLES dictionary. - the Movie class has a 'smartCanonicalTitle' method, which tries to guess the language of the movie using the first production country. If not found, it uses the first languages. - the smartCanonicalTitle method is called by some keys, like: movie['smart canonical title'] movie['smart long imdb canonical title'] movie['smart canonical series title'] movie['smart canonical episode title'] As usual, I'm open to any hint; the current implementation is far from perfect and was done in a very short amount of time. I'm not yet sure that testing the production country first, and only later the language of a movie, is a good idea.
