Hi!
Thanks a lot for your Help!
But I think I have finally found the real problem :) :
I get my episode movie objects by using movie["episodes"] which
gives me a directory of seasons and each season has a list of episodes.
To illustrate my example look at and you'll see the error right away:
from imdb import IMDb
ia = IMDb('http')
sp = ia.get_movie('0121955')
ia.update(sp, "episodes")
seasons = sp['episodes']
randomepisode = seasons[1][2]
print randomepisode.get("plot") #works
print randomepisode.get("rating") #prints None
Note that I actually could call ia.update(randomepisode) and the
rating would appear but it's extremly slow.
Thanks for all of your help! I really LOVE imdbpy so far :)
Greetings,
David
