1. I see pip is missing and it's not in ansible, please try pacman and install python-pip
   And python3-pip (I don't see any python3 packages in the pacman ansible tasks.)
   I'll push if one of those works.

2. If it doesn't help, try adding this: -DMYTH_BINDINGS_INSTALL_ROOT=/


3. Are you running cmake as root?
   Including user overrides /root/.config/MythTV/BuildOverridesPost.cmake
  That's my choice as I mimic the 'old' make/sudo make install.
