finish Yoctopuce sensor units PR

[ilyam8]

The PR is #4008

Last time I tried to get this working, the issue was with getting python.d
to properly load the Yoctopuce modules. As far as I could tell at the time, the dynamic import thing works, it's just an issue with getting Python to properly import modules that aren't in system.path, but I didn't look very deep beyond that. Part of the problem there is that the Yoctopuce Python modules are not available through most distribution's package managers, which adds a layer of complexity to things.

The actual data collection logic works (I've tested that independently of the plugin itself), so the only issues are the above-mentioned import issue and any possible issues in the chart construction.

Just like #3956 though, I unfortunately don't really have the time to work on this right now. I'll be happy to help when I can (including testing) if someone else wants to work on it.

So the PR is stuck in WIP. We need some help to finish it!

@Ferroin please see if you can/want to pick this up again, otherwise let's close it.

I do have interest in it still, I just still (for now) don't really have the time for it. I should, however, have the time to handle it once things settle out after the cloud release, the upcoming switch from Travis to GitHub Actions, and finally getting our Portage overlay for Gentoo done.

I think I actually know now what was causing the issues I saw that prevented me from properly testing this, I just haven't come up with a solution to fix it.

Marking this as a feature request (it technically is) so that it isn't automatically closed.
