Not Able to run the demo python script using exec plugin

Hi,

While trying to run the python script using the examples provided, I keep getting stuck at 1 point.

I have configured everything and influx jolokia are propelry setup. But eventually when I run using telegraf, I get this log(with error included)

2016/11/12 22:10:27 I! Using config file: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf

My config file has the same snippet in the exec as what you had mentioned. I have also tried calling the script from inside a shell script but still it doesn't run... Anything glarinlgy worng here?

try passing the full path to python? (i.e. /usr/bin/python, or whatever it is on your system)
