Being an incredibly gifted programmer (or, if you listen to my
detractors, being the new IMDb's HTML much cleaner and easier to
parse ;-) the work to support the new design is at a good point.

You can checkout it with:
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/imdbpy co -r newdesign imdbpy

The parser for the main information about movies was rewritten from
scratch (I'm not completely satisfied with the result - and it's also
not commented, so far - but it's better than the old one).
Globally the parsers will be a bit shorter and a bit faster.

Consider that _a lot_ of things and corner cases will be surely broken,
so it's essential that you do so much tests as you can, reporting
wrong or missing information.

The 'mobile' data access system is still untested (it seems to works,
more or less, but I need to check it closer).

I've updated the testsuite with new tests and some fixes.


Enjoy,
