Summary:                    Unable to load Python plugin
Description: 
I am unable to use the python plugin in collectd. I get the following
error:
lt_dlopen ("/opt/csw/lib/collectd/python.so") failed: file not found. The
most common cause for this problem is missing dependencies. Use ldd(1) to
check the dependencies of the plugin / shared object.
plugin_load: Load plugin "python" failed with status 1.

The problem seems to be that collectd cannot load any of the 32 bit plugins
(in /opt/csw/lib/collectd/) but the collectd_plugin_python package provides
no 64 bit plugin in /opt/csw/lib/64/collectd .

This is expected: as you run a 64 bit kernel you need a 64 bit application
to access kstat. You need to run one CollectD instance in 32 bit for the
embedded Python (where you can't access kstat) and a 64 bit CollectD
instance where you can access kstat but not Python.

I know it would be best to have a 64 bit Python, but it is just not done
yet.
