Hello I am relatively new to NAO Python 2.8 SDK. I am trying to go over the initial setup on a Raspberrypi running on a debian 64 bit OS which is recommended. I am running a python 2.7, also which is a prerequisite for the package. After downloading the SDK and setting it up as per the documentation, I get an error

ImportError: /home/pi/pynaoqi-python2.7-2.8.6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_qi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

while the path and the library exist at the location. Neither does my locate command trace it.

The Python SDK contains native libraries that are compiled for Linux and amd64 (aka Intel x64) processors. Raspberry Pis have an arm64 processor. The executable library _qi.so is reported as non-existent because it cannot execute it (that's how it's done on Linux).

The core of the framework being libQi, you can achieve the same with libQi Python. You can try getting through pip (pip install qi), but it is quite probable you will need to recompile it from source.
