And with Oden on our side, we are victorious
I wrote a tiny piece of code to enter a movie name and it gives you some imdb information on your console. I’m ironing out a couple of tiny kinks in the Plot reading code, moreover it’s 1 in the morning and I need to get to sleep.
Here’s a screenshot. It’s been ages since I posted images on my weblog.
This was written using python and beautifulsoup. And it seems Anomit really likes the combo too.
I'm a senior undergrad at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur majoring in Physics. I'm a self taught programmer.
I love open source, dogs, late-night conversations over coffee, and writing long letters and emails to people I don't know.

i wonder why the screenshot brought in some funky transparency
damn you compiz fusion.
This has been done already, just that it hasn’t seen the blog-light yours is getting. FD (FrozenData) or Leechzilla on #pwn have been running this script for months now, i think it was written in perl.
I’ve seen this done a lot of times before. This one guy at Google had a huge 800GB portable hard drive filled with movies. A script would scan the hard drive and create a database from many different review sites, and made everything searchable and sortable.
I didn’t do it as anything innovative, just to give HTML scraping a try. Beautifulsoup is really nice and I wrote a small reddit commandline browser earlier. But yes, it’s really hard to be new these days.
Heh, you noticed it
A small typo in the code, #!/usr/bin/pythion. Guess you haven’t run it as a standalone script yet, so you might have missed it.
can you make the source code of this available for educational purposes that am pursuing?
the source will be up on svn sometime real soon.
