[mythtv-users] Python Bindings

[Michael Watson]

I am trying to write a python script to cleanly close the frontend.  But 
it appears the python bindings are not functioning correctly (or more 
likely I am doing something incorrectly)

I have (which doesnt work, other than jump to the main menu):

     from MythTV import MythDB
     from MythTV import Frontend

     db = MythDB()
     frontend = db.getFrontend('tv02')
     frontend.jump['mainmenu']
     time.sleep(5)
     frontend.key.escape
     time.sleep(5)
     frontend.key.down
     time.sleep(5)
     frontend.key.enter
     time.sleep(5)

But if I use: (it works)

     tn = telnetlib.Telnet(ipaddr, 6546)
     tn.write('jump mainmenu\n')
     tn.read_until('OK', 2)
     time.sleep(5)
     tn.write('key escape\n')
     tn.read_until('OK', 2)
     time.sleep(5)
     tn.write('key down\n')
     tn.read_until('OK', 2)
     time.sleep(5)
     tn.write('key enter\n')
     tn.read_until('OK', 2)
     tn.close()

Am I doing something wrong, or are the python bindings not working 
correctly?
