Thanks for reporting the issue,

Can you kindly help me with the version of python you are currently working with

and also confirm that, it is the latest version of the package ?

[samuelcombey]

Yes It's the latest version of pip tried using conda too didn't work both python 3.6

[devilking15292]

The issue seems to be with the packing of the distribution, the file requirements.txt
was not imported into the package.

This is fixed with the latest version, try installing the latest pkg IMDBAPI==1.0.2.

if you are having problems with version not available, kindly use the --no-cache-dir option.

pip install --no-cache-dir IMDBAPI==1.0.2

Thanks Again!

[samuelcombey]

Fixed now

Tried your sample1.py this the error I've been getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../example/sample1.py", line 37, in

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'a'

The results of this API depends on the front end html given by the site,

it may fail if the class or id or the tag which identify particular data is changed.

In this case the tag which used to identify the director field is changed by the Site, hence it results in the error.

I'll suppress the error for now,
and will try to find away to identify the particular tag.

Note: The fix/any part of the code, may fail in the future given the change in the html.
