Maintaining An Up-To-Date Local IMDb Database

[Robin Hood]

Given

• IMDb provides their list of txt files.
• IMDb.py (among others) allows you to use those to populate a database with these files.
• IMDb provides "diff" files in order to (*theoretically, at least) give developers the ability to update their local database (not wipe and re-populate).
• I'm running an Ubuntu server

Desired
Is there a project out there that could allow me to maintain a local IMDb database?


If it is a "sudo apt-get install...", "pip...", or "easy_install..." type of solution (i.e. install, run, don't worry about it) I don't need much else.


If no such solution exists, does anyone have some helpful opinions about what the next best thing would be? I'm learning python, don't have the coding skills to do this in any other language.


My hope is to store a bunch of data about movies/tv shows on the server which I can help in displaying throughout the site. However, if new information for a movie becomes available, or a new movie/episode emerges, I'd like to have that data updated.


Thanks to all!

well, IMDb is huge a possible solution is load & save on demand to a local database.

i petty much sure IMDb don't provides their list of movies/TV shows.
