Question 
Hi,

just pulled down the code and noticed that the IMDB scraper is a bit broken. Don't know whether you are interested in getting the fix or someone is working on this.

There is also some broken test code in there.

So what does "bit broken" mean?
Btw, scrapers != python.

IMDbLib.py.

This not the scraper? Some of the regular expressions (no longer) match.

If this is not the sraper - what is?

It's not a XBMC scraper. Is this part of a plugin or script? In case it is, you should modify the thread title and/or contact the author.

What the heck is IMDBLib.py? Where did you get that?

That is not a scraper. A scraper is an XML file.

More details in our manual/wiki.

Thanks.

Wherever you pulled it from, that is not a scraper. Please read the manual/wiki/forums for information about what a scraper is.

Yeah, I found the XML file. Pretty wild but good design. Sorry for the confusion.

imdblib.py was added as an example 3 years ago by no1cantel iirc and is certainly not maintained, sorry.
