It's a python package, so in something like
/usr/lib/python3/site-packages/ and you install it as such.

It's to long ago to remember wherefrom you can install it. It also I
think contains the media grabbers.
Some time ago I did some testing on the new grabbers under python3
with older versions of mythtv and I am almost sure there is something
on the wiki about it.
