So I've got a successful build of Mythtv on Archlinux using the v35 cmake
method. I used ansible for my dependencies and it works fine as far as I
can tell.

However when I try find_orphans.py I get:

./find_orphans.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/jim/Downloads/./find_orphans.py", line 3, in <module>
   from MythTV import MythDB, MythBE, Recorded, MythError
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MythTV'

I built using sudo like this:

sudo cmake --preset qt5 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr 2>&1 | tee ~/stage1-log
sudo cmake --build build-qt5 2>&1 | tee ~/stage2.log

I looked through the stage1 and 2 log files I teed off and didn't see
anything missing except qt5webkit which is not needed.

I can post those logs to Google Drive if needed.
