I am not sure how episode production year is calculated, but it is wrong and incomplete for almost every TV show. Here you can run this select (example House M.D.) and see that production_date differs a lot from real episode production date: SELECT title.id, production_year, (select max(SUBSTRING(info, '([0-9]{4})')::int) from movie_info where movie_id=title.id and info_type_id=16) as real_year FROM title WHERE episode_of_id=(select id from title where title='House M.D.') ORDER BY real_year DESC Right now to fix this after every update i run following SQL script, however it takes few hours to update, so i was wondering maybe this could be fixed in imdbpy2sql. Thanks. PS. Thanks for the gender field. Just tested and it works perfectly! Here is the update function i run after update, if inte</pre> darklow 2012-04-12T10:03:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/833 <pre>Hi, Sometimes there is need to know is actor male or a female. And only way to detect is by looking at cast_info role_id which is very un-handful. I added column sex for name table, however following SQL update runs for a very long time while at import level it would cost almost anything. update name set sex=2 where id in (select person_id from cast_info where role_id=2 group by 1 order by 1) </pre> darklow 2012-03-28T09:52:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/828 <pre>one more very small possible improvement I have a generic wrapper to convert all person, movie, company classes into json. Where Movie.data() and the likes would have outputted class data it simply takes the name and id and turns it into a string. How can we best implement JSON output within all of the IMDbPy package (perhaps it is already)?. simple wrapper with tests https://gist.github.com/2187476 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure_______________________________________________ Imdbpy-devel mailing list Imdbpy-devel-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/imdbpy-devel </pre> James Rubino 2012-03-24T20:57:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/827 <pre>Two new small features in the mercurial/git repository: - "reraiseExceptions" option (can be used programmatically - instancing IMDb - or in the imdbpy.cfg configuration file) to re-raise any caught exceptions. Default to False, could be useful in some circumstances. - "timeout" option (can be used like "reraiseExceptions") to set a timeout in seconds for the http connections. By default I've set it at 30 seconds. Can be disabled entirely setting it to False or None. And an improvement: - better SQL statements for the creation of temporary tables (re)storing imdbIDs... it should work gracefully with postgresql and possibly other databases. As usual, please report any problem and strange behavior: I'm not too sure about the consequences of these changes. :-) </pre> Davide Alberani 2012-03-24T15:34:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/825 <pre>Hi there, I'm trying to get IMDbPy 4.8.2 going under a Windows 7 environment. I begun with a completely new Python 2.7.2 environment, with manual installation of lxml from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ However, I cannot seem to compile the cutils bit of the sql parser. I have VS2010. I tried setting the VS90COMNTOOLS variable to point to the tools directory but mt.exe bombs with an error that it cannot locate the manifest file. Anyone manage to get this going?

This is really plug'n play, well done !!! Context : - Import all imdb database (from text dumps) - first time it's fast and ok - I have the imdb ids for 90% of titles and names (no need for companies and characters) - I'll pay imdb for using those datas (I need to control the datas instead of using their own api) My problem comes when imdbpy updates my database. It takes hours to save the imdb ids and it consumes a *lot* of memory. Almost all of my RAM (24go) ... Is there a way to optimize that step ? Why does it takes so much memory ? I can help you with this if you don't have much time, I'm python dev but I need input :) Cheers, - Emmanuel PS : Sorry about my first non-member thread, wrong email ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

Pardon for the slowdown in the development; I'm sure there are still many bugs and I'd like to see some fixes to some core pieces of code (after more than 7 years and almost 50 releases, it's probably a good idea to rewrite a function or two ;-) So, if anyone wants to help, let us know! With this release, we also have a shiny new web site, courtesy of Alberto Malagoli who kindly joined the development team (thanks and welcome aboard, Alberto!) As usual, you can download IMDbPY from: http://imdbpy.sf.net/ Enjoy! </pre> Davide Alberani 2011-11-01T13:54:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/796 <pre>Hi Is it possible to get the awards list for all movies into a local database? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.

I'm running Debian with python 2.6.6-8+b1, postgresql 9.0.3-1 and imdbpy 4.7.0-1. I created a database called imdb in the usual way. Debian puts imdbpy2sql in /usr/share/doc/python-imdbpy/examples/imdbpy2sql.py.gz. I usually extract it and put it in /tmp/imdbpy2sql. I ran this: $ /tmp/imdbpy2sql.py -d ~/imdb/lists -u postgres:///var/run/postgresql/imdb It starts processing as normal.

For example: http://app.imdb.com/find?api=v1&amp;appid=iphone1&amp;locale=en_US&amp;q=shrek This is all explained in the XBMC thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=64004 Are you guys considering migrating the parsers to use this service? It surely seems like a very easy approach with much less development effort than the current scraping efforts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App &amp; Earn a Chance To Win $500!

Some things will work now, other are still to be done. Persons' biographies work, and so most of the other information. The 'httpThin' parsers broken, and I have no plan to fix it (it was never really useful: let's consider it gone). I'm not too sure about the parsers for Characters and Companies, but they seem to be ok. The development will continue in the 'imdbpy_parsers2010': I plan to work on the 'mobile' parsers. As usual, any help is welcome. </pre> Davide Alberani 2010-11-13T16:11:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.imdbpy/764 <pre>Hello All, I hope the rewrites are going well, if there is any menial work that could be done let me know.
