hey man,
when i run the movie popular func i sometimes (like when i use Genre = 'Comedy') i got an error when there is no year in the IMDB web.
In line 343 in the imdb.py file, when you update the year:
"year = year.find('span', containing='(')[0] if bool(year.find('span', containing='(')) else "" "
when the year isn't display it get the value of "".
therefore when you got to the next line - "year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))" the code fail.
i change the else "" to: else "TBD" or whatever value you want to add.
and then added an if condition that test if year != "TBD" (there was a value in the find func before) then, it will run the "year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))" line and then its run smoothly.
i would like to know your thoughts about it.
something like this:
year = year.find('span', containing='(')[0] if bool(year.find('span', containing='(')) else "TBD"
if year != "TBD":
year = "".join(re.findall(r"\d+", year.text))
