x = sys.argv1
def ran_w():

z= []
k= []
for i in range(0,int(x)):
    z =random.random()
    k =sct.norm.ppf

(z,loc=197.265217391304,scale=33.1340303880203)

It's telling you it can't find the stats module in the scypi library in your splunk_home/etc/apps/search/bin directory. Put it there and the error will go away.

Consider this image of a app/bin directory that I have for an Azure - Splunk integration:

tableService.py imports dateutil and azure. These libraries are not packaged with Splunk's python. So i have to put them here in the bin directory in order to use "import dateutil" in my python script tableService.py.

One piece maybe you're missing is instead of testing the script just with "python script.py", you use "splunk cmd python script.py" This causes splunk to do a couple important things that end up mirroring how Splunk will run your script later. One of these things is putting $SPLUNK_HOME/bin in pythonpath so it can see the files you're trying to import.
