To illustrate my example look at and you'll see the error right away:
Well, it's not an error: it's the expected behaviour. :-)
Let's follow the code:
ia = IMDb('http')
In the above line, you can set the optional parameter loggingLevel
to debug to get a lot of information about what's going on.
sp = ia.get_movie('0121955')
Here we get and parse the default info sets for a movie (i.e.: 'main'
and 'plot'):
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/combined
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/plotsummary
ia.update(sp, episodes)
Here we're asking IMDbPY to fetch another info set ('episodes'):
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/episodes
By the way: for a list of available info sets, you can
call the ia.get_movie_infoset() method (there are corresponding
methods for companies, persons and characters, too).
randomepisode = seasons[1][2]
randomepisode is a Movie instance created by the parser
of the episodes page, and it can contain only the information
available at that time. I.e.: the ones in:
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/episodes
As you can see there's a plot, but not a rating, there.
At any time, you can see the list of information stored in
a Movie/Person/Character/Company object with: randomepisode.keys()
print randomepisode.get(plot) #works
print randomepisode.get(rating) #prints None
So, this is normal.
Note that I actually could call ia.update(randomepisode) and the
rating would appear but it's extremly slow.
Unfortunately, until you fetch/parse the main page about that
movie, your Movie instance can't contain the rating.
You can do two things to speed up at least a little your code:
1. use the 'mobile' data access system ( e.g.: ia = IMDb('mobile') )
It uses a different set of parsers and fetches web pages which
contain less information (but normally everything you need).
2. instead of a ia.update(randomepisode) call, you can do this:
ia.update(randomepisode, 'main') to exclude at least the plot page.
HTH,
