Description

Inside the fresh_tomatoes directory, we have a movies folder which contains entertainment_center.py, media.py and my_movies.py files.

my_movies.py writes html, css and javascript required to run the website to the fresh_tomatoes.html file.

media.py contains the Movie class with the help of which instances of type Movie can be created.

entertainment_center.py is the file where we create Movie instances and that when executed runs the program and opens the website on a web browser.

Executing the program

To run the program, clone or download the repository to your desktop. Then open entertainment_center.py with Python IDLE and then Run -> Run Module or press F5 for instant execution.

The Movie Class

class Movie(object):
    """This class provides a way to store movie related information"""

    VALID_RATINGS = ["G", "PG", "PG-13", "R"]
    MOVIE_GENRE = ["Science Fiction", "Crime", "Thriller",
                   "Fantasy", "Drama", "Action"]

Creating an instance of the Movie class:

# INTERSTELLAR
interstellar = media.Movie(
    "Interstellar",
    "In the future, Earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable. Ex"
    "Ex-NASA pilot Cooper, along with a team of researchers, "
    "is sent on a planet exploration mission to report which "
    "planet can sustain life.",

        "time with a soul wrapped up in all the science.",
        "As visually and conceptually audacious as anything Nolan "
        "has yet done, the directors ninth feature also proves "
        "more emotionally accessible than his coolly cerebral "
        "thrillers and Batman movies."
    ],
    [
        "Peter Travers, Rolling Stone",
        "James Dyer, Empire",

    ])

my_movies.open_movies_page(movies) does the trick of creating a new fresh_tomatoes.html file(if it doesn't already exist) and open it in a web browser.
