A python function to get netflix movie info and parse out all relevant data, returning it in a tuple as stated in the docstring

netflix.py

"""
Example usage:

    >>> netflix("60024942")
    (u'Catch Me If You Can', u'2002', u'Thu Jan 09 08:00:00 UTC 2003', u'M', u'140 minutes', u'http://cdn2.nflximg.net/images/0432/12050432.jpg', u'An FBI agent makes it his mission to put cunning con man Frank Abagnale Jr. behind bars. But Frank not only eludes capture, he revels in the pursuit.', {u'director': u'Steven Spielberg', u'genre': u'Dramas', u'language': u'English', u'starring': u'Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks'})

ID could be obtained through trivial URL parsing using any stdlib library.
Here, i'll do an example:

    from urlparse import urlparse, parse_qs # urllib.parse in python 3
    parse_qs(urlparse("http://www.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=60024942").query)
    => {'movieid': ['60024942']}

Obviously you'd have a much longer url, but you can then use r["movieid"][0] to get the id, pass it to netflix(), tadaaaaa
