Since you are running MythTV v30, which uses Python 2, you will need a
Python 2 version of test-mythbackend.py (and gaps and any other Python
software that interfaces with MythTV).  I will do a Python 2 version,
but it may take a few iterations to get it working properly as I do
not have any Python 2 versions of MythTV to test it with.
