It is somewhat complicated, but you need to install Python 2.6 in a parallel
installation.  This site seems to have the proper packages:

http://www.geekymedia.com/tech-articles/rhel5-centos5-rpms-for-python-2-5-and-2-6/

Once you do this, you need to modify any python script like ttvdb.py so that
the first line reads "python26" instead of "python".  You will also likely
need to modify parts of the MythTV installation for the python bindings to
use "python26" where "python" is used and install various support packages
into your python26 installation.  It can be done, but takes a little
patience and understanding.
