Installation

The recommended way to install IMDbName is with easy_install, as shown here (in a UNIX-like environment):

# easy_install imdbname

If easy_install is not available, IMDbName can also be installed using the setup.py file included in the distribution. Simply download the source distribution below, unarchive it, and run the setup script as follows:

# python setup.py install

Both options install both the IMDbName package in your Python site-packages directory, as well as the executable script (imdbname) in the setuptools script directory. In *nix systems, this is usually /usr/bin/.

Usage

Assuming the directory setuptools puts console scripts is part of your PATH, IMDbName can be run as follows:

$ imdbname [options] FILE1 [FILE2 FILE3 ...]

Where every FILE is a movie file to be renamed. The –help option shows all command line options, also listed here:

--version

Prints the program’s version number and exits.

-h, --help

Prints the program’s usage, description, and command line options, then exits.

--license

Prints the program’s license information and exits.

--verbose

Prints extra helpful information during program execution.

-a, --assume-correct

If only one exact title match is found, assume it is the correct movie and don’t prompt the user to verify.

-f FORMATSTRING, --format=FORMATSTRING

Allows the user to specify the format for the output filenames of the program, using the FORMATSTRING argument. See below for valid format specifiers [default: “%t (%y)”].
