  LOCAL INSTALLATION
  ==================

Select a mirror of the "The Plain Text Data Files" from
the http://www.imdb.com/interfaces.html page and download
every file in the main directory (beware that the "diffs"
subdirectory contains _a lot_ of files you _don't_ need,
so don't start mirroring everything!).

From the same page, download also the latest version (3.24, as
I'm writing) of the Col Needham's command line programs (moviedb),
under the tools directory.

Install moviedb; in a stage of the installation, the mkdb program will
generate a lot of data and index files in the directory specified by
the DBDIR variable in the Makefile.

Now you can use IMDbPY on these data:
  from imdb import IMDb
  i = IMDb('local', '/the/DBDIR/directory/')
  resList = i.search_movie('the incredibles')
  for x in resList: print x
  ti = resList[1]
  i.update(ti)
  print ti['director'][0]

and so on...
