What is etvdb?

etvdb is a high-level library for the TVDB (http://www.thetvdb.com) public API. By using the functions etvdb provides, data from the TVDB can be retrieved, without the need to manually download or further parse any attributes.

Please note: all functions are synchronous, and many download data via HTTP, which may take several seconds or even longer to complete; so it might be wise to call these functions in a separate thread for interactive applications.

It is not meant for bulk data (though interfaces for this may be provided in future). It is also not a local database, though it can be used to retrieve data for one.
