Hello,

yes, thanks, the dateutil module was missing:

xxxxx at xxxxxxxxxxx:~$ python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lxml
>>> import requests
>>> import requests_cache
>>> import MythTV
>>> from MythTV.tvmaze import tvmaze_api
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/MythTV/tvmaze/tvmaze_api.py",
line 38, in <module>
    from dateutil import parser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dateutil'

As i don't have any problem with adding these modules for both python2
and python3, i simply installed both the python-dateutil and
python3-dateutil packages.  Even when the bugfix for #347 comes
through on my next mythtv update via deb-multimedia, the change will
be seamless.

I then removed my comments in the original script to allow the "-t"
option to actually function and it's all ok now.

thanks!

Simon
