Re-reading the RFTM helped.  I have to be completely honest the problem is
now resolved, however I don't know what the root cause was.  I fixed it using
the information on the URL you provided.

I ran 'ldconfig -p | grep libpython' and nothing returned.

I ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libpython2.7' and then
looked at 'ldconfig -p | grep libpython' again and saw it on the system.

I enabled one of the python scripts that wasn't running and it came to life.

Thank you for pointing me back to that wiki reference, I really appreciate
it.  I wish I knew what the problem is, however I'm not going to spend a
bunch of cycles on it and if I am going to go down that path I'm going to
identify the requirements for the python scripts next time to understand if I
should be installing Python 32 or Python 64, as well as Ubuntu or Debian
Linux and start over. (In worst case scenerio)

I agree that would be a good thing for some other folks to have access to in
order to keep things updates.   A lot of times the folks that originally
wrote it won't necessarily be doing it again on a new version and then folks
will be following improper directions.   I am seeing that as a very common
thread with everything I've done so far, and my documentation for what I have
done to overcome it is null. :/   I would be one of those persons updating
the information as well.
