Hi Stephen!


I’m already unsure!! Looking at your ‘gaps’:


#    import Utilities as api
#except:
#    print('Please install the MythTV Utilities.py file - suggested location: /usr/local/bin.')
#    print('The Utilities.py file is available as text from here:')
#    print('  https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Python_API_Examples')
#    print('Please ensure that it is saved in UTF-8 format.')
#    exit(2)
## BJM
## See “Python API Examples.odt”
##   Section ==>   “Install in a dist-packages directory (hardest/preferred)”

So I go to the wiki page; according to “Install in a dist-packages 
directory (hardest/preferred)” section the wiki page seems to indicate 
Utilities.py (etc.) to be a subdir of MythTV, which is on the Backend. 
OTOH the suggested location is /usr/local/bin, which I do have on this 
(‘local’) computer. ...I think I answered my own question but want to be 
sure.


Barry
