Hi all, as many of you know, IMDbPY is in need of a revamp. :-) So, while I (again and again) have very little time to devote to it, I try to slowly improve it.
Right now I've created a "codename-simply" branch, with the intent of reducing the amount of legacy code and some of the oddities of my previous choices: https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy/tree/codename-simplify See also issue https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy/issues/61 My plan is more or less as follow: * remove the "mobile" parser (done) * remove SQLObject support (done) * remove cutils, the utilities written in C (done, not sure it will not be useful again in the future) * introduce support for the new data set (to be done: https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy/issues/60 ) * move to Python 3 (to be done: https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy/issues/27 ) Another possible point is: * remove the BeautifulSoup dependency (python-lxml will be required) but on this I wait the opinion of Turgut, the main author of that code. The rationale is to remove unneeded dependencies (like the old SQLObject). For the moment I've set lxml as a mandatory dependency, but I can revert it to an optional one. It has to be said that _bsoup is shipped with our package, so maybe we can leave it there. After this little clean-up, I'd like to work, in this order on: 1. the switch to Python 3 2. the new dataset, using SQLAlchemy (unless there are strong opinions and helping hands to switch to a no-SQL db) If you have other ideas and/or if you want to help, let us know. :-) -- Davide Alberani <davide.alber...@gmail.com> [PGP KeyID: 0x3845A3D4AC9B61AD] http://www.mimante.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Imdbpy-help mailing list Imdbpy-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/imdbpy-help
