To tell the truth, it's mostly H. Turgut Uyar, the one who is
working on it... :-)

Anyway, it's a new approach to parse the web pages of the IMDb.com
site (it has nothing to do with the local/sql data access systems).

Basically, the new parsers see the pages as a structured document (a
hierarchy of nested tags), while the old parsers just iterated over
one tag at a time, without seeing the document as "a whole".

It should simplify the task to write and keep up-to-date the
many-many-many required parsers.

If you have the cvs command, you can check it out with:
  cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/imdbpy co -P -r dom -d imdbpy.dom 
imdbpy

The above command will create the "imdbpy.dom" directory in you
working dir.

In the sense that it's working now, or you just give up? :-)
