Unable to import splunk-sdk and splunklib python. Here are the error's I'm getting while importing. Any suggestions?

splunklib:

error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.39.33519\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2 [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycrypto
Running setup.py clean for pycrypto
Failed to build pycrypto
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pycrypto, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

splunk-sdk :

line 18, in <module> from splunklib.six.moves import map ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'splunklib.six.moves' [end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Hi @Prathyusha891

A quick search on stackoverflow yields this. Try the steps mentioned in here to resolve the pycrypto dependency.

@Prathyusha891 - FYI splunklib doesn't come built in with Splunk. In your App you need to put the Splunklib explicitly, mostly in the bin folder of your App.

pip install splunk-sdk --target ./bin

I hope this helps!!! Kindly upvote if it does!!!
