[mythtv] python bindings status? BackendServerIP[6] error

[John P Poet]

I am working on learning python.  I decided to write a simple program to
display the upcoming recordings, but I can't even get past the
initialization of the MythBE() object:

>>> from MythTV import MythBE
>>> MythBE().getUpcomingRecordings()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    MythBE().getUpcomingRecordings()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MythTV/mythproto.py", line 72, in
__init__
    self.hostname = self.db._gethostfromaddr(self.host)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MythTV/database.py", line 1347, in
_gethostfromaddr
    'BackendServerIP[6]', addr)
MythDBError: Could not find setting 'BackendServerIP[6]' on host 'localhost'

Am I missing a step, or have the python bindings been neglected?  I am
using current master.

Thanks,

John
