I think this should do what you want;

#!/usr/bin/python

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from MythTV import MythTV

m = MythTV()

upcoming = m.getUpcomingRecordings()

print upcoming[0].title, upcoming[0].recstartts

if upcoming[0].recstartts > (datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=30)):
        print True
else:
        print False
