Bill thanks for the info. My cranky answer to a 20.04 query is because I just spent 2 days trying to build for a mythtv 30 system. 30 because one of my front ends is a mac book and I have built 30 for mac, but not 31. 
30 involved building python modules for eg urlgrabber. I have not even tried to solve perl's xml.dom.minidom.
So I'll try to build 31.
Cheers
