coldToFrozenScript - with python 3.6 - Problems

hiph151 — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 23:41:08 GMT

Hi there,

i expand the coldToFrozenScript.py to a compressing & encryption function (tar and python gpg) .
It runs well when i start this manualy with python3 . I cant run this in python 2.7 because i got several errors.

So when spunk starts the script, i got errors.. Have you any idea which i can solve this issue? I know, splunk use python 2.7 but iḿ not python experienced very well.

Thx !

just my 2 cents.
If you have python 3.6 installed on the same instance than splunk, could you reconfigure your splunk python 2.7 coldToFrozenScript script as a wrapper to pass the argument to a different script that will execute on the 3.6 version, then return the results.

Long term, it seems that the python 2.7 will be deprecated, so maybe a new version will be shipped with splunk in the future.

Thx for your answer. I could solv this problem, i got the script to run with my extension under python 2.7.
But next year Python 2.7 will be deprecated so than also Splunk have to move.
