My guess is no, but I don't have a Pro account, so I can't tell
you for sure. :-)
IF the parsers can work on the Pro pages, you can do something
like that:
1. edit the __init__.py file of your IMDbPY installation,
and change the imdbURL_base variable to something like:
imdbURL_base = 'http://pro.imdb.com/' # or https?
after that, it should access pages on that server.
By the way, we should make this configurable or at least
"monkey patch"-able. :-)
2. I assume you need to be authenticated using _your_ acount,
and not with the default "IMDbPYweb" one, used by IMDbPY by default.
In your ~/.imdbpy.cfg file, set the cookie_id and cookie_uu to
the values you can read in your web browser.
You can do the same thing in the code, if you don't want to
use the configuration file:
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb('http', cookie_id=..., cookie_uu=...)
Let me know if it works. :-)

Wait - is it because the information is completely missing in
the "regular" account, or IMDbPY misses to parse the information?
Can you point me to a ("regular") page with this problem, and
maybe describe what is present in the Pro version?
Bye!
