13562	Transition to python3 breaks MythArchive	rcrdnalor	Bill Meek	"I missed the dependency from mytharchive to the MythTV's python package:

 - mytharchive calls on current master `mythburn.py` with hard-coded executable `python`,
   which is not available on a modern linux setup, because 'python' aka 'python2' it is deprecated.
   
 - currently, the file `mythburn.py` is only capabable to work with python2,
   but needs the `MythTV` python package which may be installed only for python3.
   The solution is to make `mythburn.py` compatible to python3 as well and
   resolve the hard-coded call to `python` by the configured version of 'python'.
   
 - Fortunately, the changes are quite simple, but can't be verified by me, soon.  
 
The enclosed patch uses the configured python version and updates `mythburn.py`
to python2 and python3 as well.

Please note: This patch is tested at compile time only, and 'python3' is shown now in the compiled mythburn.o

I kindly ask the developer using a current setup with python3 only to test this patch.

I really appreciate your help!

I would need a week to setup an environment to test this and Ubuntu 20.04 released with MythTV v31 is knocking on the door....

Please help me on testing this patch.

Enclosed a patch for compatibility to python3 and python2 of mytharchive, using the configured python version.
