> I am trying to get imdb data for multiple movies. I want to speed things
up, so I do this in 10 separate threads.
Each thread does this:
ia = imdb.IMDb()
ia.search_movie(moviename)
This leads to a timeout error in *every* thread. I also tried sharing the
ia variable across threads
(so that, there's 1 call to imdb.IMDb() but 10 calls to search_movie); this
also leads to timeouts.
I tried setting the timeout to infinity (ia.set_timeout(None)); then I get
the results from all threads but performance
is terribly slow! The total time is much greater than time taken for 1
movie.
I also tried this by using urllib in separate threads and connecting to
imdb pages of the respective movies. This takes as much time
as 1 call to the imdb page!
So, I guess imdbpy has some bug that's preventing me from parallelizing
using threads.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
