Comment:

 (In [22865]) Initial commit for tmdb.py, a new TMDB Grabber script for
 TheMovieDB.

 How does tmdb.py differ from tmdb.pl?  I'm glad you asked!

 tmdb.py uses the new TMDB v2.1 API, which is being expanded with all sorts
 of new information.  When MPAA ratings/Parental rating is added to this
 new API, we will be able to add them simply and quickly, along with tons
 of other new info the API will be exposing.

 tmdb.py takes IMDB *or* TMDB numbers as an argument, and spits out the
 TMDB number in the results, which means running a grab with the new
 grabber will seamlessly move an existing record over to TMDB numbers.

 tmdb.py's search takes into account *all* films at TMDB, not just those
 with an IMDB number set.

 tmdb.py is an alpha script.  I would prefer it if people didn't use it
 with .22 as a) it's unsupported and b) .22 doesn't include some key bits
 of grabber logic to manage the IMDB->TMDB transition, and c) .23 is out in
 March, take a deep breath.  It will work, I would just prefer that I (and
 Doug, and others on the lists and IRC channels) not have to provide
 support for an in progress script.

 Like the famous Jamu and tvdb.py scripts, tmdb.py is written by Doug
 Vaughan, whose dedication to supporting his scripts and their users is
 always really, really appreciated.

 Closes #6467.
