Hi,
I have a python script which return a json file like this:

{"address": "Pont Raymond Barre", "address2": "Parvis du Musée des Confluences", "availability": "Vert", "availabilitycode": "1", "available_bike_stands": "2", "available_bikes": "17", "banking": "False", "bike_stands": "20", "bonus": "Non", "code_insee": "69382", "commune": "Lyon 2 ème", "gid": "1107", "last_update": "2018-05-31 10:33:44", "last_update_fme": "2018-05-31 10:35:07", "lat": "45.7333902949857180", "lng": "4.8189455344322543", "name": "Musée des Confluences", "nmarrond": "20", "number": "2020", "pole": "Musée des Confluences", "status": "OPEN"}, {"address": "5 rue Félix Rollet", "address2": "None", "availability": "Gris", "availabilitycode": "0", "available_bike_stands": "0", "available_bikes": "0", "banking": "True", "bike_stands": "20", "bonus": "None", "code_insee": "69383", "commune": "Lyon 3 ème", "gid": "1108", "last_update": "2018-05-31 00:30:02", "last_update_fme": "2018-05-31 00:30:02", "lat": "45.7483920031766260", "lng": "4.8759903056684522", "name": "Friche RVI", "nmarrond": "50", "number": "3050", "pole": "ancienne friche RVI", "status": "OPEN"}

It works perfectly when I use the command sudo /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/bike_sharing/bin/script_velo.py in my terminal but when I try to add it in Splunk, no results are found.
Why it doesn't work properly?

Thank you for your answer

What do you mean when you write 'it doesn't work properly?'
Is there an error of the script, or the info are not indexed by Splunk?
I have a python script building an input that is indexed by splunk.
The result indexed by Splunk is in fact the result of a json.dumps(somePythonDico). Please note that this result is different from yours, and would look like

 **[**{"address": "Pont Raymond Barre", "address2": "Parvis du Musée des Confluences", "availability": "Vert", "availabilitycode": "1", "available_bike_stands": "2", "available_bikes": "17", "banking": "False", "bike_stands": "20", "bonus": "Non", "code_insee": "69382", "commune": "Lyon 2 ème", "gid": "1107", "last_update": "2018-05-31 10:33:44", "last_update_fme": "2018-05-31 10:35:07", "lat": "45.7333902949857180", "lng": "4.8189455344322543", "name": "Musée des Confluences", "nmarrond": "20", "number": "2020", "pole": "Musée des Confluences", "status": "OPEN"}, {"address": "5 rue Félix Rollet", "address2": "None", "availability": "Gris", "availabilitycode": "0", "available_bike_stands": "0", "available_bikes": "0", "banking": "True", "bike_stands": "20", "bonus": "None", "code_insee": "69383", "commune": "Lyon 3 ème", "gid": "1108", "last_update": "2018-05-31 00:30:02", "last_update_fme": "2018-05-31 00:30:02", "lat": "45.7483920031766260", "lng": "4.8759903056684522", "name": "Friche RVI", "nmarrond": "50", "number": "3050", "pole": "ancienne friche RVI", "status": "OPEN"}**]**

In addition, check the content of the inputs.conf file, as described in https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/AdvancedDev/ScriptSetup
