I'll have a go at it but other volunteers would be most welcome. I'm not
sure if I can get it done in time if changes turn out to be more than I
expected.

Davide, sorry to ask this again: Do you have a set of correct .p files
available for download somewhere? I thought the ones I generated last
week were OK but I guess the search pages I fetched were broken due to
the "; instead of &" issue in search URLs.

Hmmm... the latest I have are these:
http://bender.mimante.net/imdbpy/http-mobile.tgz

but I'm not too sure if they are good or not.

As usual, thanks for the help!

OK, I got them. Not just the format, the data seems to have changed too.
I couldn't find any movie search results with multiple akas.

I have a few commits now, mainly regarding the movie search parser.
Should I apply them to the main repository or would you prefer me to
fork it and send you a pull request?

Yup; it's in the FAQs:

Q: I use akas.imdb.com. What happened to the list of the AKAs under
the movies and people on the search page there?

A: The objective of this project was to simplify search both
technically and in the UI. Instead of providing all AKAs on the search
results page, we focus on including results with AKAs that closely
match the search term, if any. All AKAs for individual titles are
still viewable via title pages.

I think you have ti right to push directly to the main repository.
No problem at all: it can't be more broken that it is now. :-)

Thanks!

My bad, sorry. I still don't read this as "there will be at most one
aka" but I guess it's implied.

The movie search parser now produces some results. Due to the multiple
aka - single aka change, I cannot validate them against earlier results.
Direct hit search seems to work too. Now I'll try to handle the
remaining issues like TV episodes. I don't know when I can get to the
other search parsers though.

Fixing https://bitbucket.org/alberanid/imdbpy/issue/18/attributeerror-when-calling-search_movie
I've introduced an hack to handle tv episodes.

I'm absolutely not sure that it is always correct, but at least doesn't throw
an exception (ok, I'm almost sure it's somewhat wrong, but again... ;))
