Jamie,
The IMDB ID's are not in the flat files you download. To find the
appropriate IMDB ID, you can use the .get_imdbID() method on the IMDb
class, passing an object of a Movie or a Person.
Example:
i = IMDb(sql, ....)
r = i.search_movie('The Incredibles')
print i.get_imdbID(r[0])
What the script does, is to do a search on IMDB for "Movie Title
(Year)", which usually returns a single match. This functions over
HTTP. I too, would prefer, if the IMDB ID was in the flat files, but
there's not much Davide can do about it.
On a side note, once the IMDB ID is fetched once, it will fill the
imdb_id column, and you won't do a lookup on HTTP the next time.
