[mythtv-users] possible to just build bindings?

[George Bingham]

Thanks Stephen,

I must have messed something up. When I run that python3 -c "import MythTV"
I get the following error:
python3 -c "import MythTV"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MythTV'

However I do have the libmyth-python installed, and I reinstalled it, but
still get the error above.

When I switch to a different conda environment that I have setup for this
project, I get the same error.

in my base environment, when I cd to the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages and
run it again I get

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages$ python3 -c "import MythTV"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/MythTV/__init__.py", line 38, in
<module>
    from .connections import dbmodule
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/MythTV/connections.py", line 14, in
<module>
    import lxml.etree as etree
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lxml.etree'

I tried reinstalling libmyth-python via apt, and that went fine, but
didnt change anything.

Ideas?
