Hi all, there are some changes to the imdb.com html that prevents IMDbPY to work properly. Most of them are already fixed in the SVN [1]; please report any other problem.
There is, however, another set of changes that IMDb is deploying in these days [2]: it will affect the persons' pages, making sortable the various lists of movies they worked in. For some very funny and to me unknown reason, my test-suite fetches these new type of pages (with _a lot_ of changes to the HTML - even if it's not that hard to be parsed, and I already have a semi-working parser), while using it in some example scripts, will grab the old style of pages. Right now I'm not sure about how to proceed: leave the old set of parsers and release 4.3 ASAP, or wait until the new pages are completely deployed. Hints? By the way, what kind of pages do you see? Is the list of movies sortable by year/rating?
