You can use the get_imdbID(movie) or get_imdbMovieID(movieID)
methods of the IMDb instance you use to access the SQL database.
E.g.:
>>> from imdb import IMDb
>>> i = IMDb('sql', uri='mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/imdbDB')
>>> # the first movie of a search.
>>> goonies = i.search_movie('the goonies')[0]
>>> goonies.movieID
165976
>>> i.get_imdbID(goonies)
'0089218'
>>> i.get_imdbMovieID(goonies.movieID)
'0089218'
Obviously it will connect to the IMDb server, so it would be
a _very bad idea_ to use this system to retrieve the movieIDs
of every movie in the database. :-)
The get_imdbID(person) can also be used with Person objects, or you
can use the get_imdbMovieID(personID) method.

I don't know; I suppose you can always write a simple python script
as above (taking the movieID as input) and then read its output (write
the imdbID to the stdout), using calls like 'system'.
