IMDbPY 1.8 is available (tgz, deb, rpm, exe) from: http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database. With this release, it's possible to retrieve many of the still missing pieces of informations about movies and persons. Many bugs were fixed; there are performance improvements and initial support for small systems (like hand-held devices) is introduced. IMDbPY aims to provide an easy way to access the IMDb's database using a Python script. Platform-independent and written in pure Python, it's independent from the data source (since IMDb provides two or three different interfaces to their database). IMDbPY is mainly intended for programmers and developers who want to build their Python programs using the IMDbPY package, but some example scripts - useful for the end users - are included. Other IMDbPY-based programs are available from the home page. -- Davide Alberani <alberanid@libero.it> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/
