<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Hi Hika!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Not going to quote
as replying off-line after reading your reply at the website
(rather
than wait for the e-mail to come through tomorrow). Summary is my
first test error was “a bit tricky error as does not give the real
reason”, probably due to my third error.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">My third error was
I
still needed to install the dateutil module for Python2.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">As noted in a
previous post all the modules were installed. RCRERNST’s post to
me indicated having a similar problem with Python 3.9 under
Ubuntu;
install in an ‘active python environment’.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The ‘pip’ method
didn’t work. Recalled had seen some downloads on the Python
website. Downloaded the two for the dateutil module – one tar.gz
and the other whl. Vaguely familiar with tar.gz so extracted that
one. Ah! There is setup.py in there! <i>sudo python2 ./setup.py
install</i> ==> looked like installed something!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">FWIW the steps and
notes I used to install dateutil – may help somebody:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">...Looks like the
next steps don’t need to be updated so on to the Tests – can
always go back.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">First test:
(….tvmaze.py -t) ==> “Everything appears in order”
<cartwheels!!></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Second test:
(tmdb3tv….Monk) ==> get the HTML-looking output which seems to
be good.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Third test:
(tvmaze...Monk) ==> drumroll please! also HTML-looking output!
Woo-hoo!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Now for the grand
test: mythfrontend (at Terminal – easier to exit than the GUI).
Get to Artwork and Data Sources --- both prepopulated to
TheMovieDB
and the TV source can be switched to TVmaze.com. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">OK: just noticed an
error: this Frontend is asking “is mythfilldatabase running?” I’m
going to say that’s temporarily correct because the Backend
has not been updated yet. (Please verify!) </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Thanks for your
assistance – the problems I was having was mainly not knowing. To
me made sense to upgrade to Python3 while upgrading the metadata.
The either/or’s were there but I misinterpreted – sometimes one
doesn’t want to upgrade an OS, etc., because a programme won’t
work under the new. With MythTV v30 I needed to stay with Python2.
