=======

INSTALL

=======

It requires `jinja2 `_ and `imdbpy `_.

On *Debian* or *Ubuntu*, install these with ::

    sudo apt-get install python-jinja2 python-imdbpy

On *Windows*, follow `Czarek's tutorial `_.

*(Help for Mac OS instructions is welcome)*

Make sure you run a recent version of python-imdbpy (like > 4.8).

=====

USAGE

=====

**I have no idea what I'm doing with a python file**

It is a lot more stupid that was you think ! You run it in order to

generate a static `.html` file ! It has two files : a python file that

scraps *imdb* and provides the input data to the other file, a template.

**How do I run it on my web server ?** 

You run it in a command-line ! For example, in a crontab : 

::

    0 5,17 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/user/folder-theater.py --all /home/data/ > /var/www/index.html

You can then protect its access is protected by a basic `.htaccess` file.

Before to start writing the first line of code, I had found these projects :

* `movie.js `_ by Czarek Tomczak. Exactly what I needed, but *Windows only*.

* `Smewt `_ a *full-featured* media manager in python. No static output.
