Thank you, Raymond. I added:
export PYTHONPATH=/mythbuild/new/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
to mythtv's .profile as well as to the startup scripts for both the
forntend and backend which seems to have fixed my problem.
Now that I know what I'm looking for (i.e. PYTHONPATH) I found several
references to it in the mail archives. I thought I'd help out by looking
for the right place on the MythTV wiki to document this but I'm not sure
either

or
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/0.25_Python_Bindings/Upgrade_Guide
is the right place. Perhaps it should be discussed in the main
users/installation guide? It appears to only bite one when one strays from
using /usr/local. Is there no way to pick this up during the install when
the prefix and runprefix are defined?
Thanks again for the help,
