Post subject:  Myth_mtc and Backup?

Hello,

Before entering anything into flyspray, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something. I was doing some checking and it looks like the myth_mtc.py script is calling a nonexistent /usr/LH/bin/backup_job script. I'm guessing that this should be calling mythbackup, but I could very well be wrong.

I was going to add the mythbackup script to my cron.daily directory, but then I noticed this. Should there be a backup_job script along with the mythbackup script?

Back again with this issue. I have recently updated to 7.1 and during the process did a full reinstall of 6.04 with an update to 7.1. I had this problem with the myth_mtc.py script when I was on 6.04 and now the problems seem to have grown. So, following information I found on this page: ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/0.23_Python_bindings ) I made some changes to the script. The main this was needing to change the import lines to:
Code:
try:
        from MythTV import MythDB
        mythtvdb = MythDB()
except:
        mythtvdb = None

try:
        from MythTV import MythBE
        mythtvbe = MythBE()
except:
        mythtvbe = None

Because it looks like the DB and BE functions were split into separate bindings (is that the right word?) I'm not much of a programmer anymore, and never worked in Python, butt it looks like making this change and then changing the variable in the appropriate calls below eliminated the errors I was receiving. Though I am still getting an error that popen2 is deprecated. However, at least the script now runs.

Am I the only one having this problem with the myth_mtc.py script?
