Look for the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/MythTV. 
That is where all the python stuff for MythTV is installed on my testing 
system. Depending on your python version the python3.12 directory may be 
different. find_orphans.py works on my system. This system was installed 
using a mythtv-light package built with cmake, but it should be the same 
for other install methods.
