--------------------------------------+----------------------------
 The python patches break CentOS 7 and Fedora 31 builds because the new
 dependency python-uritools (and for CentOS, python-mailer) are simply not
 available in CentOS 7 and Fedora 31 (possible other distros).  For some
 deb based distros it may be possible to install these dependencies, but
 not on (at least) these two RH distros.


 This breakage can be observed(1) in the buildbot results at
 https://code.mythtv.org/buildbot/#/builders/27/builds/289 (before) and
 https://code.mythtv.org/buildbot/#/builders/27/builds/290 (after) for
 CentOS 7 and https://code.mythtv.org/buildbot/#/builders/121/builds/56
 (before) and https://code.mythtv.org/buildbot/#/builders/121/builds/57
 (after) for Fedora 31.



 (1) Since ansible has not been updated(2), these new packages would be
 unlikely to be installed on those builders in any case, but those packages
 are simply unavailable on at least some RH based/derived distros.

 (2) A missing part of the patch set was updating the ansible tasks to
 install the new requirement set (which likely would have shown that the
 dependencies are unobtainable).
