So I'm trying to take the name of an actor and get the cast list of each
movie he's in. I thought the movie object might have a cast attribute, but
no luck. I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but the way I thought (see
below) is throwing an error. This is running with a CVS version (albeit not
the latest) of imdbpy on Ubuntu Edgy with python2.4. Is there a different
way to do this? I still don't really understand the update method.
from imdb import IMDb
i = IMDb()
resList = i.search_person(u'edward norton')
root = resList[0]
i.update(root)
mov_list = root['actor']
cur_mov = mov_list[0]
i.update(cur_mov)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
