How to display python output in splunk?

Question

I am writing a code in python which will run sql select query and return the result. How do I display the output from python script in Splunk?

Currently I just have a python script running sql query and have tried importing import splunklib.client as client which fails as [pylint] E0401:Unable to import 'splunklib.client'

Tried this:

import mysql.connector
import splunklib.client as client

#splunk credentials
HOST = "localhost"
PORT = 8089
USERNAME = "admin"
PASSWORD = "yourpassword"

# Connect to splunk and log in 
service = client.connect(
    host=HOST,
    port=PORT,
    username=USERNAME,
    password=PASSWORD)

But it gives an error while importing library

I expect the output of python script which will be something like :

   STAGED = 1
   FAILED = 2
   VALIDATED =1

to be displayed in SPLUNK using python script itself.

You have to pass this command in commands.conf file. In stanza give command name and key value pair pass filename = python filename

[commandname] filename = python.py

You can more knowledge on docs.splunk about commands.conf file
