You can expect with later versions that there may be later 2.x Python. You can tell for any version by just running <CODE>$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd python --version</CODE>. I do not know if or when we will include Python 3.0 with Splunk instead, but it is likely that we will be sticking with 2.x for a very long time.</P> <P>All Python standard libraries are included. Additionally, you can see what comes with Splunk by looking in <CODE>$SPLUNK_HOME/lib/python2.6/site-packages</CODE> (<CODE>%SPLUNK_HOME\Python-2.6\Lib\site-packages</CODE> on Windows. However, it can not be guaranteed that all packages shipped with Splunk will continue to be available in all future versions.</P> Sun, 30 May 2010 07:40:13 GMT gkanapathy 2010-05-30T07:40:13Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/python-version-and-libraries-installed-with-a-lightweight/m-p/14563#M64 <P>What version of Python is used to run Splunk 4.1.x. scripted inputs? </P> <P>Which Python libraries are available for use in scripted inputs-- and which libraries (of those which I might normally expect to be available) are not available? </P> <P>Which libraries (if any) have been modified by Splunk and so have different behavior than I'd expect from a regular Python distro?</P> Sun, 30 May 2010 00:47:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/python-version-and-libraries-installed-with-a-lightweight/m-p/14563#M64 Justin_Grant 2010-05-30T00:47:30Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/python-version-and-libraries-installed-with-a-lightweight/m-p/14564#M65 <P>The exact version varies with the exact version of Splunk, but for Splunk 4.1 thru 4.1.2, the version is 2.6.4.

The full <CODE>distutils</CODE> are <EM>not</EM> available out of the box. This really only matters if you are trying to build python packages. (I'm a little bit unclear which parts of <CODE>distutils</CODE> are part of the "standard libraries" and which parts are not, I just know that running <CODE>python setup.py build</CODE> doesn't work out of the box.)</P> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:02:25 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/python-version-and-libraries-installed-with-a-lightweight/m-p/14565#M66 Lowell 2010-06-01T22:02:25Z
