This python program in the ubuntu groovy distribution in the import statements in several of the files suffers from https://github.com/jupyter/nbviewer/issues/869

[Matthew Carey]

Impact
------
The gnome-dvb-control app doesn't run because it needed to be updated
for Python >= 3.8.

The gnome-dvb-daemon binary packages have no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu and have a low popcon.

Test Case
---------
Install the updated packages.
Run gnome-dvb-control (or the Digital TV Control app)
The app should start and run normally.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
In this case, the gnome-dvb-control app doesn't run so it's not really possible to make that part worse.

The patch seems a minimal and appropriate way to fix the change in behavior for newer Python 3 versions.

It wasn't merged upstream because the upstream project has been archived since no one is really working on this app any more.

Original bug report
-------------------
/usr/bin/gnome-dvb-control

This python program in the ubuntu groovy distribution in the import statements in several of the files suffers from https://github.com/jupyter/nbviewer/issues/869

The lines that read:

from cgi import escape

Needs to be replaced by

from html import escape

affects ubuntu/groovy
affects ubunty/groovy/gnome-dvb-control

It will at least execute after that.

The affected files:
 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnomedvb/ui/widgets/ChannelsStore.py
 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnomedvb/ui/widgets/RunningNextStore.py
 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnomedvb/ui/widgets/ScheduleStore.py
 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gnomedvb/ui/widgets/RecordingsStore.py

Thanks.
