You created a python virtual environment based on the test I was running.
I picked a temporary path just to try things. It will surely change.


You'll see: "-- Using python pip install method" in your stage2 log.


If you're still using the virtual environment (your prompt will have: 
"(venv) "
in front of it), just type: deactivate  to turn it off, then rebuild.


Or try: find /usr/local/lib/venv -name MythTV if you'd like to see where 
the
module ended up.


If you keep using venv, note that python programs that use the bindings
must have their 1st line changed from #!/usr/bin/python to
#!/usr/local/lib/venv/bin/python. Again, that path will likely change.


find_orphans would be an example of this.
