How do I install Splunklib for Python 3.7 on Windows?

Question

Splunklib for Python 3.7 fails to install on my Windows machine. Since pycrypto was not ported to Python 3, I've uninstalled it and installed pycrypodome as replacement. Unfortunately, when trying to install splunklib, pip still tries to install pycrypto.

*Installing collected packages: pycrypto, splunklib
Running setup.py install for pycrypto ... *

Is there a way to force Python or pip to use pycryptodome instead of pycrypto?

Answer 1

I finally found the way to install it:

1. Uninstall pycrypto
pip uninstall pycrypto
2. Install pycryptodome as replacement of pycypto
   pip install pycryptodome
3. Install splunklib without dependencies
   pip install splunklib --no-deps

4. Edit "pythonlib"\splunklib-1.0.0.dist-info\METADATA and replace "Requires-Dist: pycrypto" with "Requires-Dist: pycryptodome"

5. install splunk-sdk
   pip install splunk-sdk

6. check that everything is ok
   pip install splunklib
