Import Python Module when creating a new Splunk App

Hello,

I am trying to create a new app which requires a python module not included in Splunk. I read somewhere that you can copy the modules and dependencies to the etc/apps/app/bin. When I do that and try to just import the module I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-limac/bin/lc_pythontest_1563939006_862.py", line 14, in
import input_module_lc_pythontest_1563939006_862 as input_module

File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-limac/bin/gevent/_hub_local.py", line 101, in
import_c_accel(globals(), 'gevent.
hub_local')
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-limac/bin/gevent/_util.py", line 105, in import_c_accel
mod = importlib.import_module(cname)
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/importlib/
init.py", line 37, in import_module
__import
(name)
ImportError: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-limac/bin/gevent/
_hub_local.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeUTF8

Has anyone gotten this before or know a different way to create this app while still using the python module?

Did you find a solution to this? Experiencing the same thing while building out a custom search command and attempting to use gevent/grequests
