While trying to install splunk-sdk-python ON Windows 7 64-bit. I have followed the approaches suggested in http://dev.splunk.com/view/python-sdk/SP-CAAAEDG
1. Using pip on windows.
Command used: python.exe -m pip install splunk-sdk-python
Error: print "Could not import coverage. Please install it and try again"
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
2. Installing Python egg from pip.
Same error persists.
3. Cloning Splunk-sdk-python from git.
After downloading the zip from github and extracting it.
Running the command: python setup.py throws the same error.
splunk-sdk-python error
Please help me in resolving the above issue.

@k_harini Just install Python version 2.7.x instead of Python version 3.x.

Python
The Splunk SDK for Python requires Python 2.6 or later. At this time, Python 3 is not supported.
