Python SDK saved_search.py action options are unclear

I'm trying to get familiar with Splunk's Python SDK via the provided examples. However, I'm struggling to understand the format expected for actions when creating saved searches.

$ ./saved_search.py --operation=create --name=api_test_email --search="unique" --actions=email --action.email.to="user@example.org" --action.email.sender="splunkbot"

Usage: saved_search.py --help for options

saved_search.py: error: no such option: --action.email.to

The help states:

"action...": {
'flags': ["--action.."],
'help': " A key/value pair that is specific to the action_type. For example, if actions contains email, then the following keys would be necessary: action.email.to=foo@splunk.com and action.email.sender=splunkbot. For scripts: action.script.filename=doodle.py (note: script is run from $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts/)"

Did you copy and paste the command from a word document into linux command line or something?

The command looks good. I suggest you type the command manually and see if it resolves the issue.
