[mythtv] Using the python bindings

[Ian Barton]

I have written a jabber bot to return various bits of info about my 
backend. It has been suggested that I should use the python bindings, 
rather than try to access the database directly.

Can someone provide me with a bit of code that shows how to create an 
instance of the MyhtTV class? This is my first python program, so please 
excuse my stupidity:)

If I write something like:

try:
     from MythTV import MythDB
     mythdb = MythDB()

except:
     print "MythDB module cannot be initialized"

that works fine. However,

try:
     import MythTV
     mythtv = MythTV()

except:
     print "MythTV module cannot be initialized"

throws an exception.

Ian.
