First, look at this page, specifically the ``unknown'' season:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169455/episodes#season-unknown
Now, run the following code (sys.path adjusted as necessary):
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/nexus/workspace/imdbpy')
import imdb
print imdb.VERSION
imdb_http = imdb.IMDb()
m = imdb_http.get_movie('0169455') # Inside the Actor's Studio
imdb_http.update(m, 'episodes')
eps = m['episodes']
print len(eps['unknown']), eps['unknown'].keys()
Output is:
4.6
1 ['unknown']
the 'unknown' season has only 1 episode, rather than the expected 9.
I suspect that the proper way to fix this is by submitting updates to
IMDB. But, anyway this could be adjusted for in code? Maybe episodes
could be unknown1, unknown2, unknown3, etc.... ?
Here's a hack for that, though we all know globals are evil

With this, the output is:

I imagine there's a much better way of achieving this.
