Why is App Inspect failing in inputs.conf.spec?

[panguy]

I am currently getting this failure when running my add-on through appinspect:

check_inputs_conf_spec_stanzas_has_python_version_property

My README/inputs.conf.spec

[autofocus_export://<name>]
python.version = python3
label = 
interval =

AppInspect Report:

Modular input "autofocus_export" is defined in README/inputs.conf.spec, python.version should be explicitly set to python3 under each stanza. File: README/inputs.conf.spec Line Number: 1

Current documentation for inputs.conf.spec doesn't mention using python.version. Any help would be appreciate

After Splunk version 8, Splunk is expecting python3 for any TA/app development.

if you have already developed your TA using python 3 just use 

python.version= python3 

in your inputs.conf

Thank you. The App Inspect error is misleading. It makes it seem like we need to add it into inputs.conf.spec file.

I removed it from inputs.conf.spec and added it to only inputs.conf and it now passes.
