Hi,

Did something similar, but concentrated on making a utility
(collection of Python modules.) Put this together:

     https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Python_API_Examples#Python_Services_API_Cookbook

It also means that users needn't write the actual access
code for each program, rather just import the utility and
do something like apt.Send(host=....endpoint= etc.)

The intent being that a user can develop their own program
using the instructions in the Wiki. It includes the very
basic usage as well as a full blown printUpcoming.py that looks
similar to some of your code (also uses Python requests
and sessions.)

There's also a link near the top for Phil's Perl version.
He did some interesting work to produce Wiki pages that
highlight changes in the API per MythTV version.

I should really upload my latest version as it had digest
authentication working for those that found the settings:
HTTP/Protected/{Urls,Password}.
