When trying to connect to the Splunk SDK, Python throws me this error:

[Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

My code:

import splunklib.client as client

HOST = "localhost:"
PORT = 8000
USERNAME = "username"

PASSWORD = "password"

# Create a Service instance and log in
service = client.connect(
host=HOST,
port=PORT,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD)

 

Throwback error is as following
