Hi, exactly: the usual way, consists in using IMDbPY to get a movie object and with that read the rating. If you need to directly work on the database, it's still possible. I cut & paste from an old mail with a similar request: To answer where most of the information are: most of the data is in the movie_info and person_info tables. There, a movie_id (or person_id) and an info_type_id (a reference to entries in the info_type table) can be used to identify the meaning of the 'info' column. For example, to get the rating information for movies: - to to the info_type table and search for the ID of the info 'rating' (in my case, 101) - now you should usually see into the movie_info_table... but the rating information are a special case and requires different indexes (that's a thing I want to change...) and are stored separately, in the movie_info_idx table - there, you can see which movie have a given rate looking at the movie_id, info_type_id (entries with 101) and 'info' (which actually store the rating). All this steps are made transparent by the IMDbPY library, as documented in http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/docs/README.sqldb.txt (SQL USAGE section: it's pretty simple and identical to the use accessing the web data) If it's better to use IMDbPY or directly the database is up to you, depending on the goal you need to reach.
