Movie Trailer Project for Full Stack Developer Nano Degree written in Python

Entertainment Center takes a list of your favorite films and rapidly builds a fan website with photos, descriptions, and videos.

This project requires that you have a few third party packages installed.

• Clone the repo: [email protected]:brusznicki/udacity_fsdn_movie_trailer.git
• Install with Beautiful Soup: pip install beautifulsoup or easy_install beautifulsoup
• Run entertainment_center.py from IDLE

Rather than type out all of the arguments needed for creating our Movie objects, this solution to the project takes a list of string literals representing our favorite movies and then fetches values for those arguments from Youtube and IMDB via the OMDB API. Because these are done each time the script is run and the results aren't saved, there is a performance hit. That said the code could be refactored to be used with a data source and more technologies to save query responses. A view can also be created to prompt users to add to their list of favorite movies using normalized movie titles as provided by another API (perhaps the OMDB API as well).
