How to use PyCall to connect to Splunk's SDK-python?

General Usage
1

Hi

I want to connect to Splunk using a Python SDK.

This is the code in python:

import splunklib.client as client

HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 8089
USERNAME = "admin"
PASSWORD = "passwdSPLUNK"

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

# Print installed apps to the console to verify login
for app in service.apps:
    print (app.name)

And this is my attempt to do the same using Julia. It obviously does not work.

using PyCall
py"""
import splunklib.client as client

def Julk_Connect(x):
    service = client.connect([{'host': "localhost", 'port': 8089, 'username': "admin", 'password': x}])
    return service
"""
py"Julk_Connect"(passwdSPLUNK)

This is other attempt using a Module:

module MyJulk

function __init__()
    print("Module MyJulk loaded")
end


function Julk_Connect(port)::PyCall.PyObject
    py"""
    import splunklib.client as client

    def Julk_ConnectP(aport):
        service = client.connect([{'host': 'localhost', 'port': aport, 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'passwdSPLUNK'}])
        return service
    """
    py"Julk_ConnectP"(port)
end

end

Please, any clues on what am I doing wrong?

What is the error message? What if you just do

client = pyimport("splunklib.client")
service = client.connect(host="localhost", port=8089, username="admin", password="passwdSPLUNK")

You are right!
Your solution is better than mine.
