pycec setup on RPi 3B+.md
  1. Install python 3.6.8 from sources (maybe not necessary)
  2. Build libcec from source like described here, but instead of cmake -DRPI_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DRPI_LIB_DIR=/opt/vc/lib .. do cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 -DRPI_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DRPI_LIB_DIR=/opt/vc/lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
  3. sudo make install copies cec.py and _cec.so to /usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/ but we need the in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/, so do a sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/cec.py /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ and a sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/_cec.so /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
