Just a minor update, I believe I've finally resolved the macOS app embedded
python issues by using a combination of a virtual python environment to
install the correct python package versions which adds the benefit of not
trashing the macports python framework and the user's python environment.

I tested and verified ttvdb4.py and tmdb.py both work in the application
and all metadata grabbers test out ok (I disabled python on my computer and
everything appeared to work).

The github CI is chugging along and the new dmgs should be posted to
SourceForge later today.

James - if I remember correctly, you prefer to build your own apps.  If you
do, you'll want to grab the latest compile script from either from the new
MythTVForMacOS repo (https://github.com/MythTVforMacOS/compileMythfrontend/).
I have a PR in progress to get these changes into the official mythtv
packaging repo.  Let me know if you run across any issues with the compile
script so I can get them fixed.
