How to retrieve the storyline paragraph with imdbpy?

Question

So far, I haven't figured out how to retrieve the short description paragraph from imdb with imdbpy.

I can retrieve a very (very) long plot this way though :

ia = IMDb()
movie = ia.search_movie("brazil")
movie = movie[0]
movie = ia.get_movie(movie.movieID)

plot = movie.get('plot', [''])[0]
plot = plot.split('::')[0]

The last line removes the submitter username.

In the HTML source, the block I'm looking for is markedup as <p itemprop="description">.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

description = movie.get('plot outline')

This code will get a list of the type of information available for a movie:

movie.keys()
