Movie Trailer Website

Summary

Here is my first project for the "Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree".

This repository contains a Python code to store a list of movies from my favorite film director and writer (Denis Villeneuve), including box art imagery and a movie trailer URL. This data is served as a web page allowing visitors to review their movies and watch the trailers.

How did I develop this code?

This application contains three python files.

• media.py: This class provides a way to store movie related information.
• entertainment_center.py: This code creates five movies instances of Denis Villeneuve, and execute fresh_tomatoes.open_movies_page() to display a movie website with these movies.
• fresh_tomatoes.py: This Python module generate a website that displays these movies. This module comes from here.

What did I learn?

I already knew Java and javascript. In this work, I learned the syntax of Python, where is the documentation, IDLE (Python's Integrated Development Environnement), how to submit a project in GitHub, etc.

This project is relatively easy since all the instructions found here.

Nevertheless, it took all my Sunday, but I'm happy with the result.

Among others, I applied the following syntax rules:

• Use 4 spaces per indentation level.
• Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.
• Line break before a binary operator.
• Imports should usually be on separate lines.

Check code for PEP8 requirements (update 2017-07-31 after review)

I used the online PEP8 checker. I simply paste my code into this website, see the results, fix my code until the PEP8 check finds no errors.

Here, log file from online PEP8 checker.

• media.py
• entertainment_center.py

However, I am not comfortable with the rule "line break before binary operator". Although I have corrected the problem indicated by PEP8 checker, I am rather of the same opinion with what is written here: Should a line break before or after a binary operator? and W503 enforces breaking after binary operators but PEP-8 appears to disagree.

Reviewer, what do you think about that? 😕

Quickstart

To run the application, you need to download the project and run entertainment_center.py.

Here's what you should see on your screen.
