[mythtv-users] MythTV v31 and Python v3 Heads Up

[Bill Meek]

Those building on master will have noticed that Python version 3
support has been added. Python version 2 reached End Of Life
2020-1-1.

Distributions have started removing python2, although it _may_ be
available from them.

Now would be a great time to start converting Python scripts to
run on either version. If you put a script on the Wiki, consider
updating it. find_orphans.py, for example, has been converted.

There are some hints here: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Python3_Conversion
Of course, the v31 Release Notes link to that page.

The MythTV v31 default is now python3. Previously, it was just python.
The --python switch in configure remains. Thus, at the time MythTV is
built, either version can be selected (assuming the distribution supports
it.) If the switch isn't used, then python3 will be used.
