Login and get codingIn this Bite we are going to parse a csv movie dataset to identify the directors with the highest rated movies.
- Write
get_movies_by_director
: usecsv.DictReader
to convert movie_metadata.csv into a(default)dict
oflist
s of Movienamedtuple
s. Convert/filter the data:
- Only extract director_name, movie_title, title_year and imdb_score, ignoring movies without all of these fields.
- Type conversions:
title_year
->int
/imdb_score
->float
- Discard any movies older than 1960.
Here is an extract:
.... { 'Woody Allen': [ Movie(title='Midnight in Paris', year=2011, score=7.7), Movie(title='The Curse of the Jade Scorpion', year=2001, score=6.8), Movie(title='To Rome with Love', year=2012, score=6.3), .... ], ... }- Write the
calc_mean_score
helper that takes a list of Movienamedtuple
s and calculates the mean IMDb score, returning the score rounded to 1 decimal place.- Complete
get_average_scores
which takes the directors data structure returned byget_movies_by_director
(see 1.) and returns a list of tuples (director
,average_score
) ordered by highest score in descending order. Only take directors into account with >=MIN_MOVIES
See the tests for more info. This could be tough one, but we really hope you learn a thing or two. Good luck and keep calm and code in Python!
