OK, for tvmaze.py

First to use it on older mythtv versions with python 2.7 change the first line of  tvmaze.py to:
    
#!/usr/bin/env python2

I was missing the following python libraries:
    
https://pypi.org/project/requests-cache/
https://pypi.org/project/python-dateutil/1.4/

bug line 504:
    
        if not os.path.exists(cachedir):
-            os.makedirs(cachepath)
+            os.makedirs(cachedir)
        if sys.version_info[0] == 2:

/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/tmdb3tv.py -l en -a US -N 1695 "Mr. Monk and the Psychic"
gave:
`ERROR: <type 'exceptions.Exception'> : Cannot find episodes for inetref '1695'.`

The rest gave proper output.

Tot mails,
