cot install-helpers reports "Not sure how to install" for fatdisk and vmdktool on Linux if cot was built/installed under Python 3.x. This is because "sys.platform" for LInux changed from 'linux2' in 2.x and 3.2 to 'linux' in 3.3+

Looks like the appropriate fix may be to use platform.system() instead of sys.platform, as it returns "Linux" under both python2 and python3.
