TypeError: quote_from_bytes() expected bytes

[Kyle Jorgensen]

# names = files_df['File Name'].tolist()

names =['Attack Of The Clones',

 'Batman Begins']

found_names = []

for names in range(len(names)):

    ia.search_movie(names)

# files_df['IMdb'] = found_names

found_names

Ultimately I would like to get this into the DataFrame files_df

Hi,
pardon the long delay.

There's an error in the code.
In the for cycle, you are iterating over the indexes of the array
"names" assigning at each
iteration the index value to "names" itself.

You can get what you want with something like:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import imdb

ia = imdb.IMDb()
titles = ['Attack Of The Clones', 'Batman Begins']
found_titles = []
for title in titles:
results = ia.search_movie(title)
found_titles.extend(results)

print(found_titles)


Hope this helps.
