A bit of explanation on that...

The documentation on that page is for the bindings in trunk.  Under 
0.22, you would do something like the following.

 >>> from MythTV import MythTV
 >>> be = MythTV()
 >>> a = be.getUpcomingRecordings()
 >>> a[0]
House (2010-02-08 20:00:00)
 >>> a[0].title, a[0].subtitle
(u'House', u'5 to 9')

Under trunk, you've got two options.  You can use the backend connection 
as before.

 >>> from MythTV import MythBE
 >>> be = MythBE()
 >>> a = be.getUpcomingRecordings()
 >>> a[0]
<Program 'House','2010-02-08 20:00:00' at 0x803b085d0>

Or you can use the XML interface used by mythtv-status.

 >>> from MythTV import MythXMLConn
 >>> xml = MythXMLConn()
 >>> a = xml._queryTree('xml')
 >>> a.find('Scheduled').getchildren()[0].attrib
