Thanks for answering so quickly.
I stripped a few things before I posted my script here, I accidently
deleted this: IMDb.update(serie, 'episodes')
I'm using version 3.6 because it's standard in ubuntu 8.10 and that's
probably what most of the users of my program will be using. But I will try
with 4.0 for testing purposes.
Since which version doesn't this work anymore: title =
serie['episodes'][1][4]['title'] ?
Will it work with imdbPy 3.8? (standard in ubuntu 9.04)
Since which version can I use sortedSeasons and sortedEpisodes? 3.8 or 4.0?
For getting the title I then would do title =
serie.get('episodes').get(1).get(4).get('title') and it will return None if
the title isn't available?
Best regards
Michael
