Comment(by Raymond Wagner <raymond at wagnerrp.com>):

 Patch 7 adds a minor tweek to the UTF-8 support from R.D.Vaughan.  It also
 adds the FileTransfer class.

 MythTV.FileTransfer(file[,parent]):
     'file' can take the form of a Program object, or a tuple containing
 (backend, filename, storagegroup)
         filename is a relative path from the storagegroup base, starting
 with a '/'
     'parent' is an optional command object (MythTV.MythTV()).  If none is
 given, it will open a new one internally to use

 The class uses the standard file i/o functions:

 FileTransfer.close()[[br]]
 FileTransfer.tell()[[br]]
 FileTransfer.read(byte count)[[br]]
     This currently pulls up to 64KB at a time, but will buffer an
 unlimited amount of bytes before returning the data.  Don't go overboard
 here, because python will be buffering this in memory.[[br]]
 FileTransfer.rewind()[[br]]
 FileTransfer.seek(byte offset[,whence])[[br]]
     'whence' is an optional integer where 0 seeks absolute from file
 start, and 1 seeks relative from the current position.  Default behavior
 is 0 (absolute).
