Hi Stephen!

> So the libmyth-python package from MythTV v30 is not installed.


Sorry about the delay in responding: took my friend to urgent care 
facility this morning. Nothing overly serious a prescription for 
antibiotics shouldn’t cure in a week. (In U.S. ‘urgent care facility’ is 
a walk-in medical site for symptoms less than requiring Emergency Room 
treatment.)


OK, back to business. Downloaded the current test-mythbackend.py 
<http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/test-mythbackend.py> – looks to be v.1.3 
of October 12^th still. Modified initial line to use python2.


barry at NZXT:~$ python '/home/barry/MythTV Backend 
Scripts/test-mythbackend_v1_3-101421.py'

Please install the MythTV services_api version compatible with your 
MythTV backend.

In Ubuntu, to get the current version of the MythTV services_api, do 
"sudo apt install libmyth-python".

If you still get this message after installing libmyth-python, do "sudo 
apt install python-future python-requests".

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/barry/MythTV Backend 
Scripts/test-mythbackend_v1_3-101421.py", line 35, in <module>

from MythTV.services_api import send as api

ImportError: No module named services_api



OK, expected.


barry at NZXT:~$ sudo apt install libmyth-python

Pretty much expected. Re-ran test-mythbackend_v1_3-101421.py' – same 
error. Expected.



barry at NZXT:~$ sudo apt install python-future python-requests

python-future is already the newest version (0.15.2-4ubuntu2).

python-requests is already the newest version (2.18.4-2ubuntu0.1).

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Still “ImportError: No module named services_api “ – obviously I’m doing 
something not quite right. Seems like I need to tell it which version 
(30) to download.
