| Q: | Is Cinemagoer compatible with Python 3? |
|---|---|
| A: | Yes. Versions after 6.0 are compatible with Python 3.x, but should also work with Python 2.7. If you need an older, unmaintained, version for Python, see the imdbpy-legacy branch in the repository. |
| Q: | Importing the data using the 's3' method, are the imdbID available? |
| A: | Yes! The data from https://datasets.imdbws.com/ contains the original IDs. |
| Q: | Importing the data using the old 'sql' method, are the imdbID available? |
| A: | No. The old 'sql' method generates sequential imdbIDs that are unrelated to the ones used by the web site. |
| Q: | I have an URL (of a movie, person or something else), how can I get a Movie/Person/... instance? |
| A: | Import the imdb.helpers module and use the get_byURL function. |
| Q: | I'm writing an interface based on Cinemagoer and I have problems handling encoding, chars conversions, replacements of references and so on. |
| A: | See the many functions in the imdb.helpers module. |
| Q: | How can I get a link to an image (movie cover or people headshot) with a specific size? |
| A: | You can use the imdb.helpers.resizeImage function to get a link to a resized and/or cropped version of the image. |
