Hi all,
Timo Schulz pointed me to a problem with plain text data files:
since last week, it seems that _every_ reference to movies changed
from 'Title, The' to 'The Title'.
This is a serious problem: as it is, imdbpy2sql.py assumes to have
titles in the canonical ('Title, The') style.
A fix would be easy, but it will create a lot of minor nuisances (basically:
IMDbPY can turn a title from a format to another, but it _guesses_ which
part of the title is the article, and this is prone to errors).
I've already filed a bug report to IMDb, in the hope they will fix
it on their side.
The form to contact the IMDb staff:
http://www.imdb.com/helpdesk/contact_form
Right now, the best thing is to _not_ update your plain text data
files.
Within 1 or 2 weeks, the problem will be solved in one way or another. :-)
Bye,
--
