get_movie broken

[Zsolt Ero]

Hi, I am recently having trouble with imdbpy.

I'm trying to use the code which was working some time ago, but this is what I receive now:

KeyError: 'countries'

My code is extremely extremely,simple, here is the basic part:

import imdb

im = imdb.IMDb()

title = 'down by law'

results = im.search_movie( title )

counter = 0

for res in results:

counter += 1

id = res.getID()

movie = im.get_movie(id)

print str(counter) + ': ' + movie['country'][0] + " - " + movie['director'][0]['name'] + ' (' + str(movie['year']) + ') ' + movie['title']

Can you tell me what is happening and how can I fix it? I'm on the mercurial tip.

We have a lot of bugs, right now; as usual any help is welcome.

However, in your specific case, it seems to be a network problem.
Are you sure it's not your connection?

The get_movie example script works for me; can you provide the
command you've run?
I've tried:
get_movie.py 0133093

Hi Davide,

It seems that it depends on the specific movie. Maybe this movie has a large list of characters or something. Even for this one, eventually I was able to get the data, after trying 5x times. So it somehow depends on the size of the movie as well as the load of the network.

Actually, I tried it now and it gets it 100%. So it really is depending on the network! My network gets slow at peak hours, but it shouldn't be a reason not to download a few bytes.

Is there any way to set the timeout of the sockets manually? I think a loong timeout might solve it, something like 120 sec or similar.

Regards,

Zsolt

Sure, the IMDbHTTPAccessSystem takes the 'timeout' parameter, set to
30 by default.

So, when you initialize your IMDb() instance, you can just use it:
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb('http', timeout=120)

At thanks, I didn't know about it! I'll see how it goes with this settings!
