imdby package problem

[deanhystad]

Looks like an internal package problem. Probably due to a change in the IMDB web page. Move on to a different package.

This fails if there is no "h4" in your soup, or if none of the h4 contain the word 'release'. I hate it when there's no "h4" released in my soup.

releases_index = [i for i in range(len(soup.select('h4'))) if 'release' in  ' '.join(soup.select('h4')[i].text.split()).lower()][0]

Well written web scraping code should never assume any search will find a match. And it is so easy to fix:

releases = [i for i in range(len(soup.select('h4'))) if 'release' in  ' '.join(soup.select('h4')[i].text.split()).lower()]
release_index = releases[0] if releases else None
