========================
On September 2010 the IMDb web pages had a major redesign.
With IMDbPY 4.7 we're trying to parse the new web pages,
but it will take some time before all the bugs are fixed.
Any help (fixing parsers or simple bug reports) is greatly
appreciated.
Beware that:
- the "httpThin" data access method is badly broken and
probably it will not fixed.
- the "mobile" data access method can be partially broken,
and will be fixed: please report any problem.
- some of the information in these keys could be somewhat
ruined: soundtrack, awards, episodes rating, faqs.
- information about series were not extensively tested.
- it's possible that some information will be missing, like
"in development" movies.
The above problems, with the exception of "httpThin" will be
fixed in future releases.
Notes about the code: we have a very powerful and efficient
parsing infrastructure, but after many releases and so many
changes of the IMDb pages, some of the main parsers are showing
their age. So, parsers for main information about movies and
persons should be probably rewritten from scratch, and the same
applies to helper functions like "build_person" and "build_movie"
in imdb.parser.http.utils.
