Splunk SDK for Python and .JS

Anyone know of any examples on SplunkBase that have JavaScript-written commands using the Python SDK?

I’ve written about a dozen custom commands using Python and a familiar with that process.

The dev docs suggest the Splunk SDK for Python should be used for .JS commands but I’m not understanding how that’s possible without importing libraries like Flask.

This is obviously a mistake on the docs page (unfortunately dev docs don't include the feedback form). How would you write JS code with Python SDK? It makes no sense.

I agree that it makes no sense. I opened an SR and this is in the reply I got back from support:

The app  Splunk SDK for Python must work for .js as well as .py, please attempt using .js an let us know the outcome.

I thought, surely this can't be right. Especially on Python 3.7. There are packages built to allow for the import of Python libraries into Node.js, but the ones I know are designed for 3.8+.

I still think it's a mistake. There is a JS SDK separately downloadable from https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/downloads
