I am trying to coonect splunk using the below python code, but I get below errors. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
I have the following version of python and Splunk SDK installed.

import splunklib.client as client

HOST = 'https://ecomsplunk.mydomain.com'
PORT = '443'
USERNAME = 'user'
PASSWORD = 'password'
try:
# Create a Service instance and log in
service = client.connect(
host=HOST,
port=PORT,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD)
except Exception as url_exception:
print("Exception Unable to connect " + str(url_exception))

Traceback (most recent call last):

I was able to get it resolve my problem by using the following code:

import splunklib.client as client

HOST = 'ecomsplunk.mydomain.com'
PORT = '8089'
USERNAME = 'user'
PASSWORD = 'password'
try:

Create a Service instance and log in

service = client.connect(
host=HOST,
port=PORT,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD,
scheme='https')
except Exception as url_exception:
print("Exception Unable to connect " + str(url_exception))
