The latest commit of the new ttvdb.py is now working with the ubuntu 
16.04 packaged versions of the python components. These are the packages

python-future, python-requests, python-requests-cache

It would be prudent to add these dependencies to the build sooner rather 
than later, so they are ready when the new script is pushed.
