Here's an annoying one I just came across:
(I finally turned my test loop into a function :-)
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import imdb
i1 = imdb.IMDb('http')
i2 = imdb.IMDb('sql', 'sqlite:/share/media/imdb/sql.db')
test_title = 'The Motorcycle Diaries'
test_year = '2004'
def do_search(i, title, year):
s = i.search_movie(title)
print len(s), 'results'
for m in s:
if m['year'] == int(year) or m['year'] == year:
i.update(m)
print m['title'], m['year'], m.get('akas')
do_search(i1, test_title, test_year)
do_search(i2, test_title, test_year)

The Making of 'The Motorcycle Diaries' 2004 None
Diarios de motocicleta 2004 [u'Carnets de voyage (2004)::(France)',
u'Diari della motocicletta, I (2004)::(Italy)', u'Motorcycle Diaries,
The (2004)::(USA)', u'Reise des jungen Che, Die (2004)::(Germany)',
u'Voyage \xe0 motocyclette (2004)::(France) (festival title)']
Note:
http: u'The Motorcycle Diaries::(USA)'
sql: u'Motorcycle Diaries, The (2004)::(USA)'
So, I wrote a routine to normalize those to get rid of ::(USA) and
(2004)::(USA), great.
But now I have to move that damned article around too?!?
Grrrrr
Hmmm... looks like that's a part of the original data set.
And it wouldn't be trivial to convert the data to put the article first:
Diary 2, The (1999) (TV)
(aka Cahiers intimes 2 (1999) (TV)) (France) (dubbed version)
(aka Tagebuch der Lust, Teil 2 (1999) (TV)) (Germany)
It looks like different languages have different ways of moving the
article to the end of the string. Interesting, I never knew that.
Fortunately for me, I only care about English.
