Lots of good examples (many from the guy who wrote and maintains the 
Python bindings) at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Python_Scripts 
.  If you can follow patterns and the documentation at 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/0.24_Python_Bindings , you should be able to 
get it working (and it will be much better than any 
direct-database-editing approach, and will continue to work when our 
schema changes--as it will soon, and very much so).

Feel free to post your script when you finish the rewrite.
