"Recommendations" error

[rhagarty]

All the recommendation steps at the end of the notebook had errors, all similar to the following:

NameError Traceback (most recent call last)

in () ----> 1 display_user_recs(12, num=5, num_last=5) in display_user_recs(the_id, q, num, num_last, index) 103 i = 0 104 for movie in user_movies: --> 105 movie_im_url = get_poster_url(movie['tmdbId']) 106 movie_title = movie['title'] 107 user_html += "

%s

" % (movie_title, movie_im_url) in get_poster_url(id) 9 poster_url = IMAGE_URL + movie['poster_path'] if 'poster_path' in movie and movie['poster_path'] is not None else "" 10 return poster_url ---> 11 except ModuleNotFoundError: 12 return "NA" 13 NameError: global name 'ModuleNotFoundError' is not defined NOTE - this is probably related to the fact that I did NOT do the optional step of setting up the tmdb.API_KEY (I had errors). If so, the name of the recommended movie should still be listed, even if it's poster can't be found. Otherwise, the optional step should probably be required.

Ah - so you did install tmdbsimple but did not set the API_KEY? I'll amend the code to catch that error too so that it falls back to the text-only display.

I can't reproduce this exact error.

If I have installed tmdbsimple, but did not run the "Toy Story poster test cell", and also have not set the API key, I get:

What Python version are you using?
