IMDbPY 4.0 is available (tgz, deb, rpm, exe) from:
  http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/

IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of
the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies.

With this release, support for keywords and top250/bottom100 lists;
also, it's now possible to export any data in XML.  Many bugs were
fixed and other minor improvements are present.

Alongside IMDbPY 4.0, the 1.0 release of IMDbPYKit is available.
IMDbPYKit is the new web interface of choice of IMDbPY; mostly developed
by H. Turgut Uyar, it's based on the Paste Webkit toolkit and it has a
lot of nice feature (e.g.: it can output data in both XML and HTML).

Platform-independent and written in pure Python (and few C lines),
IMDbPY can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local
copy of the whole database.

IMDbPY package can be very easily used by programmers and developers
to provide access to the IMDb's data to their programs.
Some simple example scripts are included in the package; other
IMDbPY-based programs are available from the home page.
