Getting tmdb3.py to work independently of MythTV is fairly trivial.
Grab the independent installer for the upstream pytmdb3 library, install
it, and point tmdb3.py at its new location in the import line. About two
minutes and you're done. There has been updated grabber functionality
between 0.24 and 0.27, so it's up to you to rip that out of the grabber
so it does not cause problems with older versions of MythTV.

Instead of propping up a several year old version of MythTV, it seems
more prudent to figure out how to upgrade. A quick search finds this
two-month-old thread.
