[mythtv] Using the python bindings

[John Sutherland]

In the second sample, you are only importing the 'module' MythTV, but  
not the class.. In the first, you're importing the MythDB class from  
the MythTV module..

You could do (I know nothing about the myth python bindings, the code  
may be incorrect..):

try:
	import MythTV
	mythtv = MythTV.MythTV()
except:
	print "can't be initialized"
