Libguestfs - May 2015 - Re: [nbdkit python]: unable to locate modules

What version of Python were you running for your test?

$ python --version
Python 2.7.9

Also, has anyone written a complex plugin for nbdkit that leverages
shared libraries? I was hoping to hack this together quickly to test
performance...

Thanks!

Nope.  I've written substantial plugins in Perl & C only.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.

OK... I *think* I've solved the issue. It has to do with the way
plugins are loaded.

Here's the bug I filed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223870

Let me know...
