Person instances (can) have the 'headshot' keyword:
  person.get('headshot')

Will give you 'http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTQzNjU3MDczN15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNzY2Njc4._V1._SX94_SY140_.jpg'

You can get a larger version of the image with a function in
the 'helpers' module.  E.g.:
   import imdb.helpers

   print imdb.helpers.fullSizeCoverURL(person)

It works for Movie instances, too.

Bye!

TV series with unknown episode numbers

First, look at this page, specifically the ``unknown'' season:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169455/episodes#season-unknown

Now, run the following code (sys.path adjusted as necessary):
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/nexus/workspace/imdbpy')
import imdb

print imdb.VERSION
imdb_http = imdb.IMDb()
m = imdb_http.get_movie('0169455')   # Inside the Actor's Studio
imdb_http.update(m, 'episodes')
eps = m['episodes']
print len(eps['unknown']),  eps['unknown'].keys()

Output is:
4.6
1 ['unknown']

the 'unknown' season has only 1 episode, rather than the expected 9.

I suspect that the proper way to fix this is by submitting updates to
IMDB.  But, anyway this could be adjusted for in code?  Maybe episodes
could be unknown1, unknown2, unknown3, etc.... ?

Here's a hack for that, though we all know globals are evil

I see - thank you very much for the report and the idea for the fix!

I've implemented a similar solution in the Mercurial
repository: http://imdbpy.sf.net/?page=download#hg

In fact it's not a great improvement: to tell the truth, the numer
of the episode should not be computed in the _build_episode function (but
right now I don't have time for a better solution, and anyway... this
one works :-)

Thanks!

I concur; that's not the best place to keep it.  I assume that the bit
that processes XML or whatever would be the ideal place to have a
counter to keep track of it?  But I was busy and didn't have time to
figure out your entire code base.   :->

For a personal fix, I ended up using just an integer instead of the
unknownN type, mostly because the tool that I was writing needs an
integer, and it seemed silly to take an integer counter, turn it into
a string, only to have to parse it to turn it back into an integer
again.  I've not yet looked at yours, though.

I suppose on of the problems with this is that there is no good way to
guarantee an order.  I imagine that most of the time it will be the
same, but it'll be a the whim of the order that IMDB sends the data,
rather than anything that we can predetermine.

Sure, or - even better - rethink the data structure: after all,
maybe we don't really need a dictionary of dictionaries to store
seasons/episodes.
The current choice was probably made to accomodate things like
"unknown season" or "episode 0", but maybe we don't need these
pieces of information and move to a list of lists or a dictionary
of lists.

Feel free to poke around, clone/fork the repository, and ask if
you need help!

It does the same. :-)

That's why there are the sortedSeasons and sortedEpisodes
functions in the 'helpers' module (but they can't guarantee
