As you've noticed, the sourceforge's CVS access is back in action,
and I've committed a lot of changes to IMDbPY.
Now the http, mobile and local data access systems behave correctly,
when faced with tv series episodes.
Maybe there are still some non-working corner-cases, but I think
that 95% of the work is done.
As early as possible, I want to help the "sql" development, a
completely different beast. :-)
Giuseppe: let me know on what I can work (soundex functions, maybe?),
to avoid conflicts in the development process.
Some sparse notes:
- in the plain text data files there are some entries labeled with
"{{SUSPENDED}}"; they are episodes of movies, video movies and
tv mini series; it's still unclear if IMDb will support episodes
for things that are not "tv series".
I suppose they'll end up supporting it; so far they are handled
as normal episodes by the local data access system, and this could
cause problems (SUSPENDED will appear in the title, for instance)
We're talking of about 300/400 titles; we can fix it when things
are getting clearer.
- The IMDb web sites search form support (unofficially, I think)
searches for episodes; the title must be provided as taken from
the "movies.list" file, complete - when available - of season and
episode number; e.g.:
"ER" (1994) {Carter's Choice (#4.13)}
This feature is already exploited by IMDbPY, whenever a conversion
between a movieID and the imdbID is required.
- Ana Guerrero build an initial official debian package; it can be
found for testing here:
'hXttp://ekaXia.syXtes.netX:80X80/deXbian/imdXbpy/'.replace('X', '')
If you have comments, let me know.
