You appear to be using imdbpy. The file docs/README.package gives some tips on
how to use Movie objects. A Movie behaves like a dictionary; the data is stored
as key/value pairs. To see all the data in a movie you could use
for key in movie.keys():
print key, '=', movie[key]
(Normally I would use
for key, value in movie.items():
but there is a bug in movie.items() and this doesn't work.
Also Movie has a summary() method that returns a string describing the movie,
so you could use
print movie.summary()
Here is an example based on info from README.packages:
>>> from imdb import IMDb
>>> i = IMDb()
>>> movie_list = i.search_movie('beautiful girls')
>>> first_match = movie_list[0]
>>> print first_match.summary()
Movie
=
Title: Beautiful Girls (1996)
>>> i.update(first_match)
>>> print first_match.summary()
Movie
=
Title: Beautiful Girls (1996)

>>> i.update(first_match, 'all')
>>> print first_match.summary()
>>> for key, value in first_match.items():

[Tutor] Instances
Lets say i do:
>>> i = f.get_movie('0092411')
No I know the i holds an instance:
>>> i
How can I find out the value of all the data this instance has? I can
do a dir(i)
['_Movie__modFunct', '_Movie__movie_data', '_Movie__namesRefs',
'_Movie__titlesRefs', '__cmp__', '__contains__', '__deepcopy__',
'__delitem__', '__doc__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__module__',
'__nonzero__', '__setitem__', '__str__', 'accessSystem',
'add_to_current_info', 'append_item', 'clear', 'copy', 'currentRole',
'current_info', 'default_info', 'get', 'get_current_info',
'get_namesRefs', 'get_titlesRefs', 'has_current_info', 'has_key',

'myTitle', 'notes', 'reset', 'set_current_info', 'set_data',
'set_item', 'set_mod_funct', 'set_title', 'summary',
'update_namesRefs', 'update_titlesRefs', 'values']
I know there is more info in there than this, is there a way to see
everything that 'i" without hunting and pecking?
