Python SDK Saved Search Variable Passing

I am using Python to access and saved search. I want to then run this saved search.  I understand how to do this using the .dispatch method. The issue I am having is that I have a search with search variables, for example

| eval state="$state$"

Using SPL I simply call

| savedsearch "somesearch" state="state"

In Python I have seen with JS you can pass

{state: somestate}

in the .dispatch() method.

In Python however, any time I attempt to pass a parameter with these values I get various errors. Any help in the direction of passing a variable name would be great!

Thanks

Have you tried this?

 

kwargs = {"state": "state"}
job = mysavedsearch.dispatch(**kwargs)

Passing this returns that the value "state" is not supported by this handler.
