Python for Scientific Computing App: Error when importing pandas in my script

[korst]

I have installed the Python for Scientific Computing App into Splunk Enterprise. It seems to have installed correctly

PS: I use tgz to install Splunk Enterprice, version is 7.0.

Then, I try to execute command [ /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd python ]

import sys
sys.path.append('/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_SA_Scientific_Python_linux_x86_64/bin/linux_x86_64/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
import pandas

Traceback (most recent call last):

Please guide me how to add mmap or my steps are wrong, thank you~~orz

Based on the way you've imported pandas by adding the add-on site-packages directly to your system.path my best guess is the mmap module is somewhere else in the add-on not in site-packages. If you want to keep using the add-on you'll need to find the location of the other modules and add them to your path.

Alternatively, I've released a new app called PyDen on Splunkbase which lets a developer create Python virtual environments of varying versions (3.7, 3.5 - 3.7) which can be leveraged by custom scripts instead of the built-in Python Splunk uses. The app can also install PyPI packages to the environments allowing you to use any version of any libraries you'd like on any version of Python you need.
