Is splunklib api code portable to splunk-sdk

How much syntax has changed from splunklib (which ran on Python 2.x) to splunk-sdk (which runs on Python 3.x)? Just seems like a lot of the tutorials and info on Splunk API is super outdated. Is nobody doing this anymore? Currently mainly interested in running a search and getting results into Pandas using Python. Also breaking up a search into multiple smaller time spans if the time period is too long and/or the return data set too large.

 

I have old code from the splunklib Python 2.0 days but basically just starting over and using it as reference.

I've given up. I don't know if it's a network issue on my side or what, but I'm just going to use standard Restful API libraries. All the samples around splunk-sdk that I could find seem out of date and I'm concerned about long-term support.
