 This causes users of the bindings (such as jamu) to incorrectly report
 failures.

 The jist is this though:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py", line 366, in
 <module>
     mythdb = MythDB()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MythTV/MythDB.py", line 102, in
 __init__
     raise MythError('Connection failed for \'%s\'@\'%s\' to database %s
 using password %s' % (dbconn['user'], dbconn['host'], dbconn['name'],
 dbconn['pass']))
 MythError: <unprintable instance object>
