Splunk comes bundled with its own Python environment. You could either set your PYTHONPATH in order to make use of the packages available in it, or better yet you should run Splunk's python completely: /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd python <yourfile.py>.

Hello, I was the same problem with Mysql module that I was install on my Centos server

Splunk didn't work with this library, because splunk has they own python library...then you can fix it only added on the begin your script all libraries of python and also you must to add the python Centos library too... as this way

Find python packages

[root@xxxx]#find / -name site-packages
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_SA_Scientific_Python_linux_x86_64/bin/linux_x86_64/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Find python binary

[root@xxxx]# whereis python
python: /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib64/python2.7 /etc/python /usr/include/python2.7 /opt/splunk/bin/python /opt/splunk/bin/python2.7 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz

include all at begin your script

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/bin/python2.7')
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
sys.path.append('/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages')

And that's it , you can run mysql module without any problem and create your alerts with this module.

Mysql Connection

import mysql.connector

I hope that this fix will help you

is ended up solving a major problem for me using Ansible to setup Splunk and running python scripts inside the Ansible playbook. Thank you so much!
