The ModulePath certainly looks wrong (unless you actually have a 
directory called "libvirl_memory.py"), not sure if that might break 
imports, but probably not.
You're not actually importing a script you wrote so I'm assuming that 
you started "collectd -f" and are trying to write something from the 
interactive interpreter? In that case, does the failed "import collectd" 
command show any interesting backtrace? Do other imports work? Please 
try one normal python module (like "time") and one script you wrote 
yourself (doesn't have to do anything, just print "Hello world" would be 
enough to see if it works).
