Hi
I'm trying to connect to splunk from my python env and I'm getting this error.
I have installed SDK Lib and also I'm able to import splunklib, but not able to import splunklib.client as client
running on mac and python 3.7.1
can someone please help?

Thanks.

after a little research, I found that splunklib is a python script and is not a library folder.

Mac Terminal - ls /anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunklib.py

why is that? isn't it supposed to be a library/folder... ? how do I get a splunklib package instead of a script?

please help!
