I'm a beginner at Python.

I am trying to get some information about a movie using Imdbpy. The code looks like this:

ia = IMDb()
results = ia.search_movie(movie_name)
movie_id = results[0].getID()
movie = ia.get_movie(movie_id)

and if the movie_name is a series name I am going to get the episodes ids:

episode_ids = ia.get_movie_episodes(movie)

but I get an error that I do not know how to fix it: the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise InvalidURL(f"URL can't contain control characters. {url!r} "  
http.client.InvalidURL: URL can't contain control characters. '/title/ttThe Last of Us/episodes' (found at least ' ')

(I just pasted it idk which part is important.)

I did not do anything about it because I don't really know about urls and request and imdbpy it self. I would appreciate it if you help me about it.

I don't know if you need these but I'm trying to get these information: ['title', 'year', 'rating', 'season', 'episode_number', 'episode_title', 'episode_rating', 'genres']

I think the correct way to get the episodes, by the doc, is:

The episodes of a series can be fetched using the “episodes” infoset. This infoset adds an episodes key which is a dictionary from season numbers to episodes. And each season is a dictionary from episode numbers within the season to the episodes. Note that the season and episode numbers don’t start from 0; they are the numbers given by the IMDb:

>>> ia.update(series, 'episodes')
>>> sorted(series['episodes'].keys()) # the keys here are actually season number!
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> season4 = series['episodes'][4]
>>> len(season4)
13
>>> episode = series['episodes'][4][2]
>>> episode
<Movie id:1038701[http] title:_"The 4400" Fear Itself (2007)_>
>>> episode['season']
4
>>> episode['episode']

But be careful that the series object here is the same as your movie object. You can find more information on the doc: https://cinemagoer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/series.html#series
