Setup for Ubuntu

Hello,

I am attempting to setup IMDBPY locally on my home server. I have the
database built and populated with the imdb data, but now I am having a
heck of a time getting imdbpykit setup and running under apache. I have
tried to follow the directions as closely as possible but I am unsure as
to what to do with the following. 

Apache with mod_wsgi
  Copy the sample files for imdbpykit.ini and imdbpy.wsgi to any directory.(I have these files in my home directory)
  Copy the sample file for wsgi.conf to the Apache configuration directory ( i am assuming /etc/apache2?)
  and edit the paths for the imdbpy.wsgi script and the static files. ( I am assuming the path to my home directory?)

Don't forget to make sure that the web server has write permissions on the cache
directory (under web/static).  (Not sure what this is talking about or the location)

Now once all this is done, how would I access it? 

Thank You For any assistance.

Rob

Ok, as long as it's readable for the www-data user, used by apache on Ubuntu.

Probably for apache2 the right place is /etc/apache2/conf.d/

WSGIScriptAlias must point to imdbpykit.wsgi and the Directory to
the path of the 'imdbpykit' directory.
Also, the '/static' alias must point to the correct directory.

The above directory (imdbpykit/web/static/)

Assuming that the WSGIScriptAlias directive refers to /imdbpykit ,
you just have to point your browser to http://localhost/imdbpykit

Yes, it should be /etc/apache2/conf.d/

The path for imdbpy.wsgi is your home directory (plus "imdbpy.wsgi"),
the path to the static files is:
  .../site-packages/imdbpykit/web/static
This directory contains a hidden file (.environment.xml), for which the
server also needs write permissions.

Bye,

Fetch Trailer URLs

Can imdbpy fetch the media file URL for a movie's trailers?

No, at this time the URLs of movie trailers are not retrieved.

We may consider to add them, but right now the problem is that a recent
redesign of the IMDb pages has broken a lot of parsers, and there's a lot
of work to do.

Here you should probably use .get('actor') or .get('actress'),
but as said this is not the real problem: the fact is that
actually IMDbPY is broken and these information are not
parsed at all. :-/

Unfortunately, I fear it will stay this way for some weeks, still: my free
time is next to zero, lately. :-(

HTH,

'akas' key does not contain all AKAs

  Hello,

I'm trying to create a list of English titles of my movies. Therefore I 
search through the list of akas for strings like 'USA', 'English title', 
'UK' and so on. I've came through a case where this does not work well:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075860/releaseinfo#akas

import imdb
i=imdb.IMDb()
m=i.get_movie('075860')
i.update(m)
m['akas']
[u'CE3K::USA (informal short title)', u'The Special Edition: Close 
Encounters of the Third Kind::USA (reissue title)', u'Encuentros 
cercanos del tercer tipo::Argentina, Peru', u'N\xe4rkontakt

troisi\xe8me type::Canada (French title), France', u'Bliskie spotkania

I'll try to take a look at the problem; unfortunately right now my
free time is almost non-existent and IMDbPY is facing serious
problems due to a recent IMDb redesign.  See:
  http://groups.google.com/group/imdbpy-devel/browse_thread/thread/b1226f91645fd209

Thank you for the bug report!

Ah, I see. Anyway thank you very much for this very useful library. Most 
of what I use works quite well despite of the IMDb redesign.
