This is not an IMDb scraper - This README is not a lie.
Everything you're seeing here is broken and unmaintained code. You shouldn't
execute the imdbooo.py script nor pass the --help flag.
This is not the output of --help:
You wont be able to define the output format of a title or person.

index --help
The index routine doesn't take care of crawling from -u URLs nor from file -f.
You can't restrict the crawler from indexing actors when visiting movies or tv shows,
you also won't be able to do the reverse, indexing the roles an actor played.
usage: imdbooo.py index [-h] [--without-cast] [--without-roles]
[-u URL | -f FILE]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
