IMDdPY for Debian
-----------------

This package installs just the imdbpy python modules. The source code includes 
some examples that upstream author made with the goal of be executables, but 
since these scripts need a little setup about how to access to IMDb data, i 
decided it was better not install it directly.
Please, read upstream's README.txt file to learn how to make this setup.
You can make all the necessary changes editing the py files placed at:

/usr/share/doc/python2.X-imdbpy/examples/

And after this, make a symbolic link, for example:
ln -s /usr/share/doc/python-imdbpy/examples/get_first_movie.py /usr/bin/get_first_movie


Besides, if you want to use a local copy of the whole IMDb's database,
read the "README.local" file. Or if you want to insert the content of the plain text 
data files into a SQL database, read the "README.sqldb" file.

imdbpy2sql.py is somewhat different: it's not an example, but a script
required to put the plain text data files in the MySQL database. You can find
it gzippped in the 'example' directory.

sql support
-----------
If you want to use the 'sql' data access system, you will need to install
SQLObject or SQLAlchemy. Packaged as python-sqlobject and python-sqlalchemy,
both suggested in Suggests.
