Comment (by rcrdnalor):

 I found additional incompatibilities to python3:

 See the last patches from pull request 182.

 Please update your local test environment to include this patch.

 The last patch from pull request 182 fixes #12243 as well and
 the testcases verified, that #12245 cannot be reproduced anymore.

 See file 'test_Dataheap_VideoGrabber_001.py' from my repo

 Additionally, I got an alarming message today at
 https://lwn.net/Articles/795546/

 In short: Python3 will expose the deprecation warnings about
 `invalid escape sequence` to the user and will soon report them
 as error.

 On python 3.6, they are only visible with the '-Wa' switch,
 e.g. if you run
 {{{
 python -Wa -m compileall -f -q MythTV'
 }}}


 Current MythTV Bindings, even with patches form pull request 182,
 show some warnings of this kind, especially in regex expressions.

 I'll try to look into this during weekend.
