<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I resolved this issue. Turns out I need a newer version of Python2.7.
Trusty only provided version 2.7.6. I was able to upgrade to version
2.7.12 using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes-python2.7
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.7
The Python ssl package is built into Python since version 2.6 something
or other, so the only way to get a newer version is to upgrade Python
itself. Luckily, 2.7.12 is new enough.</pre>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I’m going to stick
my head out and try to make a suggestion based on something Roland
suggested in my sub-thread. I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 and Python
2.7.17. Anyway, paraphrasing what Roland said, Ubuntu pre-installs
but not in the active python environment. While upgrading my
system
said the dateutil module was installed but the MythTV metadata
wasn’t
able to find it (gave an error message).</p>

is this (and yes, some beginner level notes):</p>
