-----------------------------------+--------------------------
 With python3, the following methods of the Python Bindings
 return now a generator, in opposite to python2,
 where they return a list:
 {{{
 Recorded.markup.getskiplist()
 Recorded.markup.getunskiplist()
 Recorded.markup.getcutlist()
 Recorded.markup.getuncutlist()
 }}}

 This will break almost all home-made transcoding scripts,
 once called with python3. Found during debugging of #13562.

 Luckily, this is easy to fix, patch attached.
 It works for python2 and python3 as well.

 Without the patch:
 {{{
 $ python3
 Python 3.6.9 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:44:02)
 >>> from MythTV import MythDB, Recorded
 >>> db = MythDB()
 >>> rec = Recorded((3002,20200120201100), db = db)
 >>> rec.markup.getcutlist()
 <zip object at 0x7f63ee572d88>       <--- this is the generator
 >>> list(rec.markup.getcutlist())
 [(0, 13204), (159325, 9999999)]
 >>>
 }}}

 With patch:
 {{{
 $ python3
 Python 3.6.9 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:44:02)
 >>> from MythTV import MythDB, Recorded
 >>> db = MythDB()
 >>> rec = Recorded((3002,20200120201100), db = db)
 >>> rec.markup.getcutlist()
 [(0, 13204), (159325, 9999999)]
 >>>
 }}}
