Thanks again Stephen,

I think I understand whats going wrong. I am using conda because of the
instructions I was following, presumably to prevent this kind of problem in
the first place. When using the conda environment for this project, my path
does not include the python3 thats original to my machine. When I
deactivate conda, I can import MythTV without error. But it wont work for
my project because of the other dependencies that were all downloaded
specific to the projects conda environment.

I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want to start over without using
conda, probably can't even without really screwing things up. But I hoped
to augment this project by utilizing some of mythtvs services api. Can I
simply add '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages' to my path in the conda
environment?    Note that the conda environment utilizes python 3.12, while
its 3.10  natively on my machine.

Thanks for your help.
