Comment(by r.d.vaughan at rogers.com):

 Attached is a new release of the thetvdb.com (grabber) Query engine.

 This version (v0.8) has the following changes:

 1) No dependency on BeautifulSoup

 2) Self contained as there are no additional scripts to install.
    As tvdb_api.py ... etc modules are included.

 3) tvdb_api.py now uses a thetvdb.com api key specific to MythTV

 4) The -M (series name list) option is now functional

 5) An issue with caching and multiple users has been resolved.

 6) Enhanced ability to accurately find TV series and episodes information.
 This is an optional feature. **

 ** Schedule direct and then subsequently MythTV's %TITLE% and %SUBTITLE%
 do not always accurately reflect the naming conventions used by
 thetvdb.com. There is now an "-o" option that will allow the use of an
 override.txt file that can direct ttvdb to correctly select a TV series or
 episode. Please see the include file "ttvdb_example_override.txt" for
 details.

 For a full list of ttvdb.py's functionality please type at the command
 line:
 > ttvdb.py -u

 Please ignore the original instructions for installing tv_api.py or the
 dependencies on BeautifulSoup.

 Again I would like to thank dbr/ben the author of tv_api.py for adding
 functionality to accommodate the MythTV specifications for (grabber) Query
 Engines.
