What error is the output? Do you have made ​​well Preferences?
For example, this sample program work?

Please to save and run the file with the appropriate name by setting the HOST,USERNAME,PASSWORD.
---------(sample program)------------------
import splunklib.client as client

HOST = "hostxxxx"
PORT = 8089
USERNAME = "username"
PASSWORD = "password"

try:
service = client.connect(
host=HOST,
port=PORT,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD)
print "connect OK!"
except:

print "connect NG!"
