Re: [imdbpy-help] Getting writers attributes

[Davide Alberani]

Hi Hedias,
some of the information you are looking for are included in the
"notes" attributes of a Person instance.

In the case of cast members, more information about the role can be
found in the "currentRole" attribute.

As an example, using the same data as in your code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import imdb

ia = imdb.Cinemagoer()
m_id = "0109830"
movie = ia.get_movie(m_id)

for writer in movie.get('writers', []):
if not writer:
continue
print('name: %s, notes: %s' % (writer['name'], writer.notes))


Will output:
name: Winston Groom, notes: (novel)
name: Eric Roth, notes: (screenplay)

(apparently there are some bugs and the list may contain empty Person
instances... we really need more developers :-))

If some data is different from the one you find on the main page of
IMDb for a title, keep in
mind that we parse the "reference" page, for movies. E.g.:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/reference


Hope this helps,
