I am embarrassed to say that the error was a stray file in my ~/tmp 
directory which was confusing python.

The --config script seems to ask whether I watch Prime 3 times.

Once run, there seems to be a newline missing in the first line:

<tv date="20070707074154 +1200" generator-info-name="epgsnoop/0.15.0" 
generator-info-url="http://nice.net.nz/epgsnoop"><channel 
id="tv2.sky.co.nz"> <-- all one line


- which is probably a point of style only :-)
