You're right, it was trying to load the MythTV module, and failing because there is no such.  I was puzzled, because the default operation is NOT to use MythTV; I tracked that down to the options parser, which had
	action='store_true'
where it should have been
	action='store_false'
After fixing that, it ran into the bytes-versus-string problems you mentioned.

I have been working through those, and I have a version that works, or at least runs to completion without crashing; need to test some more.

BTW, the version I have is called 0.6.2-jsw -- is that you, by any chance?

Cheers,
Austin.
