Python script to create persons yml

[henningBunk]

Since I wanted to add around 100 directors collections I though I write a little script to look up the TMDb IDs and create the yaml.

Maybe you will also find this helpful to kickstart your config:

import tmdbsimple as tmdb

tmdb.API_KEY = '###################'

persons = [
    "Akira Kurosawa",
    "Alex Garland"
    ]

for person in persons:
    search = tmdb.Search()
    search.person(query=person)
    for s in search.results[:1]:
        id = s["id"]
        name = s["name"]
        print(f"  {name}:")
        print(f"    director: tmdb")
        print(f"    tmdb_person: {id}")
        print(f"    sort_title: +_{name}")
