Issue with MPD python library after Moode update

Choice #4 works here in Maryland

Code:

pi@rpi4b:~ $ sudo pip install python-mpd2
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

Installing collected packages: python-mpd2
Successfully installed python-mpd2-1.1.0

(note that host rpi4b is a moOde 7.6.1 player)

As an aside, note that Python 2 is still the default because moOde 7.6.1 is based on RaspiOS/Debian Buster.

Code:

pi@rpi4b:~ $ python -V
Python 2.7.16

This will change with the move to RaspiOS/Debian Bullseye for moOde 8.

ETA: If one runs pip3 instead, one gets a module with the same name and different version number

Code:

pi@rpi4b:~ $ sudo pip3 install python-mpd2

You'll have to work out what you want.
