Hi Davide,
thank you very much for your answer.
It seems the *movie.get('akas', [])* method doesn't return the whole list
(anymore?).
For instance, if I'm trying to retrieve the AKAs from the Japanese movie
"Kuroi ame": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097694/releaseinfo#akas
Please note that when visiting the page you can find 19 items, "original
title" included.
But the method below returned only 6 of them, one of which is not even a
title, it is "*See more »*".
*>>> from imdb import IMDb*
*>>> i = IMDb()*
*>>> m = i.get_movie("0097694")*
*>>> akas = m.get('akas', [])*
Here the list returned contains only 1 element, that isn't correctly split:
['Black Rain\n (World-wide, English title)\n
\n \n
Black Rain\n (United Kingdom)\n
\n \n Pluie
noire\n (France)\n \n
\n Lluvia negra\n
(Spain)\n \n
\n Pioggia nera\n
(Italy)\n \n \n
See more »']
And even if I split it after that, I still haven't got the whole list of
akas:
*>>> a = akas[0].split("\n \n
\n ")*
*>>> len(a)6*
Is there any way to retrieve the complete list of akas, including the IMDb
"(original title)" item?
Or to fix the method that's already there?
Kind regards,
