I've been using IMDbPY as a tool for several months, although I don't know much
about Python. I've altered the script search_movie.py to do what I need it to
do, and it has been working fine for several months. All of a sudden it is
failing, returning no movies. Going back to the original search_movie.py and
running it with the argument 'Wind', the following is output:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/IMDbPY-4.8.2-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg/imdb/_exceptions.py:35:
IMDbDataAccessError exception raised; args: ({'url':

None
Probably you're not connected to Internet. Complete error report:
{'url': 'http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;mx=20;q=Wind', 'error type':
'http_error_default', 'errcode': 503, 'headers': <httplib.HTTPMessage instance
at 0x108713170>, 'proxy': '', 'errmsg': 'Service Temporarily Unavailable'}

Running the url 'http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;mx=20;q=Wind' by hand in my
browser, returns basically an empty error page. I looked through the parsing
code, and it indicates, in a comment, that the url should look something like:
'http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=Wind;s=tt;mx=20'. This url returns a valid page
which can be parsed.
Has something changed in IMDb to cause this problem, and is there an easy fix,
even temporary in nature, that can be applied?
Thanks,
