You're right, my mistake was using 3.6 version
Ubuntu 8.10 repo only has python-imdbpy 3.6 and I installed it and used 1.1,
which obviously didn't quite work ;-)
For sake of search engines and users who might come across this mail, here
is a little guide:
In order use vdbpy 1.1 Ubuntu 8.10, you need IMDbPY 4.0
Python 2.5 is installed by default, but we gonna install IMDbPY, so we need
python developers package as well
We also install python lxml binding, so vdbpy speeds up.
sudo aptitude install python-dev python-lxml
download IMDbPY 4.0 @ imdbpy.sf.net
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/imdbpy/IMDbPY-4.0.tar.gz
unpack & cd into dir
tar -xvfz IMDb* && IMDb*
Install IMDbPY
sudo ./setup.py install
Use vdbby-1.1 as described in it's docs.

My source here would be simple command ls
My files are located on a FreeNAS system (BSD), using command-line I execute
ls > ls.txt which gives me a file containing a list of folders like this:
Afro Samurai (2007)
Afro Samurai - Resurrection (2009)
After the Sunset (2004)
Akira Kurosawa (1950)
Alibi (2008)
Alien (1979)
Alien Raiders (2008)
one movie on each line. Then I would clean up the file removing years (or
maybe not needed).
And here I'm stuck.. how can I get vdbpy to read every line and generate
files like dump function does?
