11907	vimeo doesn't work with mythnetvision	superm1@…	Jonatan Lindblad	"The 2 part Vimeo API key is precompiled for python 2.6.  It's stored in the tree at: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/programs/scripts/internetcontent/nv_python_libs/vimeo/vimeo_data.pyc

Unfortunately, current distributions don't ship python 2.6 and this precompiled python data is unusable.

Examining other projects that use a 2 part API key, they do just leave it in the ""open"": https://github.com/HenrikDK/vimeo-xbmc-plugin/blob/46c9f695e97528f08878e355f7a5cdb8116beb87/plugin/vimeo/__init__.py

I raised the question with the original author Doug Vaughan.

His response:
""Mario, 
I don't really care. Vimeo was the only one that was paranoid about their API key. I thought it was a bit over the top at the time and still do. If XBMC is leaving theirs in the clear then why not Mythtv? Even the Google API end user agreement did not have that kind of stipulation.

Do as you see fit, the code change would be minor any event.

Consequently I have a pull request to pull in the actual source file including the obfuscated 2 part API key.  It would then compile for whatever python version was on the actual system.
