Hi all, as many of you have noticed, since some days the search feature of the web subsystem of IMDbPY is broken. This means that no, you can no longer search for movies.
Why is it broken? Because IMDb changed their web pages. It happens all the time, as you can imagine. See: http://akas.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?find&ref_=fn_hlp Problem is, for a series of good reasons this time I *really* don't have the time and will to fix these problems. Not in the next few days/weeks, anyway. Other parsers are in the same conditions, but surely they are less important. So, honestly, while I'm glad to receive many "the search is broken!" bug reports, this time I'd really appreciate more some patches. :-) Luckily, our html parsers are extremely powerful and simple enough to write (once you've learned the basics). I can help describing what must be fixed, where and how, but even if I'll find some time in the next weeks/months, I'd like to spend it fixing and improving the SQL subsystem, and not the web parsers. So, if there are some volunteers, this is a good time to tell us how you want to help. :-) Thanks! PS: please, let's talk about the development only on the imdbpy-devel list, since imdbpy-help is only for users. -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
