Why do I get so many warnings and some errors when using IMDbPY?

I'm using IMDbPY to retrieve data from IMDb. I'm getting the right results and everything looks OK except one thing: No matter what I do, I get warnings. The results are fine, but they appear only after a long list of warnings and sometimes errors.

For example: The following code is supposed to print Resevior Dogs (1992):

import imdb
db = imdb.IMDb()
movie_obj = db.search_movie('pulp fiction')[0]
db.update(movie_obj)
print movie_obj['long imdb canonical title']

It does so, but not before the following warnings and error:

Why do I get this? Am I doing something wrong?

Well, this is pretty self-explanatory:

unable to use "lxml": No module named lxml.html

Can you do this to check if the module exists?

1. In Terminal or Command Prompt, run python.
2. Post the output of the first line (e.g. Python 2.6.6 (r266...).
3. In the shell, type in import lxml.
4. Next, try import lxml.html.

For me, this is what happens:

blender@desktop:~$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lxml
>>> import lxml.html
>>> 

I have the module installed, so I don't get any output (it imported successfully).
