Instead, I left a note in the commit that something would need to be done for 0.26, and promptly forgot about it.  When I get home this weekend, I'll put something in that silently switches users over when they attempt to use the old tmdb.py.

As I'm not quite ready yet to install 0.27, is it possible for me to just install the latest tmdb3 stand-alone?  If so, I'm unclear how that's would be down.  Perusing github, I saw that there is a 'setup.py'.  Would I just need to put the binding files in the proper python place and run that?

The tmdb3.py grabber consists of an external library that has been pulled into the MythTV Python bindings, and a brief wrapper script to translate the objects returned by the library into XML usable by the grabber interface.  The library can be installed independently, found on my Github page, but the script will need to be altered, to fit the new location of the library, and to suit changes in the grabber interface between 0.24 and 0.26.
