In my opinion, yes. :-)
It's an IOError exception fetching the data, and it's probably related
to your internet connection.

At that stage, IMDbPY does very little more than this:
  import urllib
  uo = urllib.FancyURLopener()
  url = uo.open('http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;mx=20;q=The+thaw')
  content = url.read()

I don't see how it could fail, if not for a problem on your system.
Beware that I don't use MacOSX, so I can't be too sure: looks like
there are a lot of google results, for "nodename nor servname provided,
or not known".
It seems to not be Python-specific, and related to the getaddrinfo
system call.

Let me know if you find a solution (or if you think it's a problem
in IMDbPY).


Bye!
