Getting Data In

After installing Splunk SDK for Python, why am I getting "ImportError: No module named spluklib.client" in my python code?

Hi,

I just started trying Splunk SDK in Windows.
I installed Python and Splunk SDK.
However I have an error "ImportError: No module named spluklib.client" in my python code.

What did I miss?

Thank you

I'm guessing your environment doesn't know where the splunklib dir in the sdk is located. Not sure how to set that up on windows. I'm sure python on windows came with pip though.

Try to install via pip:
from: http://dev.splunk.com/view/python-sdk/SP-CAAAEDG

Use pip:
pip install splunk-sdk

Also, I do not think it works with python3

HI,

splunk-sdk-python folder is not created only splunklib is created after installing splunk-sdk-python using pip in windows. without having the splunk-sdk-python folder , how can we set pythonpath to splunk-sdk-python?
