IMDbPY for (too) sensitive people ================================= Since version 2.0 (shame on me! I've noticed this only after more than a year of development!!!) by default adult movies are included in the result of the search_movie(), search_episode() and search_person() methods. If for some unintelligible reason you don't want classics like "Debbie Does Dallas" to show up in your list of results, you can disable this feature initializing the IMDb class with the 'adultSearch' argument set to 0 (or other "False" value). E.g.: from imdb import IMDb ia = IMDb(accessSystem='http', adultSearch=0) The behavior of a IMDb class's instance can be modified at runtime, calling the do_adult_search() method. E.g.: from imdb import IMDb # By default in the horny-mode. ia = IMDb(accessSystem='http') # Just for this example, be sure to exclude the proxy. ia.set_proxy(None) results = ia.search_movie('debby does dallas', results=5) for movie in results: print movie['long imdb title'], movie.movieID # It will print: # Debbie Does Dallas (1978) 0077415 # Debbie Does Dallas Part II (1981) 0083807 # Debbie Does Dallas: The Next Generation (1997) (V) 0160174 # Debbie Does Dallas '99 (1999) (V) 0233539 # Debbie Does Dallas 3 (1985) 0124352 # You can now revert to the old puritan behavior. ia.do_adult_search(0) results = ia.search_movie('debby does dallas', results=5) for movie in results: print movie['long imdb title'], movie.movieID # It will print only: # Pauly Does Dallas (1993) (TV) 0208347 The do_adult_search() method of the http and mobile data access system also takes another couple of arguments: "cookie_id" and "cookie_uu", so that you can select _your own_ IMDb's account; if cookie_id is set to None, no cookies are sent. These parameters can also be set in the imdbpy.cfg configuration file. For the strings to use, see your "cookie" or "cookie.txt" file. Obviously you need to activate the "adult movies" option for your account; see http://imdb.com/find/preferences?_adult=1 OTHER DATA ACCESS SYSTEMS ========================= Since version 2.2 every other data access system (sql) support the same behavior of the http and mobile data access systems (i.e.: you can set the 'adultSearch' argument and use the 'do_adult_search' method). Notice that for the sql data access system only results from the search_movie() and search_episode() methods are filtered: there's no easy (and fast) way to tell that an actor/actress is a porn-star.
