LOCAL INSTALLATION ================== Simple instruction: switch to 'sql' (see the README.sqldb file). The 'local' data access system was removed since IMDbPY 4.2, for a series of good reasons: - the moviedb program was no more distributed by IMDb. - the new format for movie titles ("The Title" instead of "Title, The") created way too many problems almost impossible to fix, since a lot of damage was done by the - never updated - moviedb program. - it was slower and less complete than 'sql'. - there were very few users of it. If you are veeery willing to resuscitate it, you can write in the mailing list about your crazy idea. :-)
