sys.path.append('/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/python3.7/site-packages/') (after having analyzed the problem I then sent the bug report from my desktop computer) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843988 Title: python library installed into site-packages instead of into dist- packages Status in lirc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The lirc package comes with python libraries and it installs the libraries into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.6/site-packages This results in the libraries not being found by system python.
