More or less: the 2.4 release works, but it depends on MySQL and it doesn't support tv series' episodes (recently introduced by IMDb as stand alone titles). So: you can use it, but it will behave "strangely" [1] for information related to tv series episodes, because a recent set of the plain text data files will reflect the IMDb's innovations to their data's structure. Example: the "notable tv guest appearance" in the biographies.list file (lines starting with "GA: *") are gone, because now every episode acted by a given person is listed in the various actors.list, actresses.list and so on. > I'd like to use imdbpy for my class project Sounds cool!

Seems a good solution; anyway, if you prefer to have a local installation of the database, try "local" (yes: I need someone to test it ;-) > However, it looks like IMDB doesn't like screen scrapers. Yup; it's stated in their copyright notice.
