Options

• --list LIST The id of the public list you wanna export, if is available export the list and not your ratings
• --csv FILE sets csv export file name to FILE
• --lang LANG sets language to LANG. Letterboxd importer works best with english, the default option.

Troubleshooting

• Could not set locale: The script attempts to guess your locale setting given your platform. If it fails to do so you need to provide it yourself. On Linux you can get available locales by running locale -a in your terminal.
