find_orphans script won't run [Solved]

[MBEeng]

I have a system running MythBuntu (MythTV 0.28 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

I have used the find_orphans.py script many times in the past, and it ran with no problems. However it no longer runs. This started sometime last year.
The error message (below) seems to indicate that a module named builtins is missing from MythTV. If that interpretation is correct, how can I restore the missing module, and where should it go? If that isn’t the problem, what do I need to do?


Error message:

Installing future fixed the problem. find_orphans.py runs normally now.

For the record, I had to install pip-python, not pip:

$ sudo apt-get install pip-python
$ sudo pip install future
