The url is in the returned exception. You can do something like:
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
try:
results = ia.search_movie('goonies')
except imdb.IMDbDataAccessError, e:
print 'Ouch!', e.args[0].get('url')
Beware that, for exceptions accessing a proxy, the e.args[0] dictionary
will contain the 'fullurl' keyword, instead.
This makes me think that I should implement a better/cleaner way to
handle exceptions (e.args[0] is horrible...) :-)

Won't work.
The used server (akas.imdb.com [1]) is hardcoded in two or three
places in the IMDbPY code; even if I suppose you can override it
with a monkey patch [2] you will face the fact that akas.imdb.com
and the other servers (us.imdb.com, uk.imdb.com, italian.imdb.com,
etc. etc.) are in fact _the same_ server (or better: they resolves
to the same IP address, whatever this IP materially is).
Actually, 207.171.166.140.
Besides that, what you got was a 'Name or service not known'
which smells like a problem on your side (your PC/network or
your provider DNS resolver), probably a timeout: it's really
unlikely that the imdb.com domain had such a noticeable problem
resolving one of its subdomains.
Ciao!

[1] used because it will list every movie AKA in any language.
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch
For sure the best solution would be to limit (ideally to one)
the number of places were akas.imdb.com is hard-coded in
IMDbPY, but at the moment I've very limited time. :-/
As usual, any help is welcome.
