Python 3 compatibility

[jparct]

I ran the Splunk Upgrade Readiness App and it indicates a Status: Warning for Python scripts and a Status:Blocker for files named test.py. Is this correct? This app is listed as 8.0 compatible.

Sorry, Splunk Addon for Box (I thought I was posting this to the Splunk Addon for Box answers section).

Hello jparct,

Which app were you scanning?

There should not be any files named test.py as recommended at: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/Python3Migration/PythonDevelopment

The following is the recommendation at the above link:
Module naming conflicts
You should also rename any files that conflict with Python standard modules or Splunk libraries, such as files named test.py. Use different, non-reserved names to avoid namespace conflicts in Python 3.

Checking for test.py may have been missed with this app. Such files should be renamed.

Hope this helps!
