Ansible works OK now. The only error I'm seeing with the
Python bindings in 3.9 is:

   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MythTV/dataheap.py", line 18, in <module>
     import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xml.etree.cElementTree'

There's a simple solution, but is cElementTree an
example of something that will show up in the
future? Any script that uses: from MythTV import MythDB
will fail.
