Getting errors when running a.py in Splunk Python SDK.

[jrfreeze]

We use Splunk cloud and I'm trying to figure out how to use the Splunk Python SDK but I'm stuck on the first example. When I first ran a.py, I got the error:

NameError: name 'six' is not defined
Which I fixed by adding "as six" to "import splunklib.six.moves.http_client"

Now I'm stuck, getting the following when I enter python a.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "a.py", line 30, in 
connection = six.moves.http_client.HTTPSConnection(HOST, PORT)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'moves

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

OK, this turned out to be a silly oversight. I had changed the "import" line, but then hadn't changed the actual connection definition is line 30 from:
connection = six.moves.http_client.HTTPSConnection(HOST, PORT)
to
connection = six.HTTPSConnection(HOST, PORT)

Now that error is solved but I still can't seem to get connected via Python. I'm thinking I need to have greater permissions maybe? Here's the new traceback:
