Does the built-in Python 2.7 that comes with CylancePROTECT App for Splunk have incompatible libraries?

Hello,

I was in the process of installing the CylancePROTECT App for Splunk and came across an issue that appears to be python related.
I ran the test.py script with the built in Python 2.7 from Splunk and receiving the following error:

ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found. 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 147, in

raise ValueError('unsupported hash type ' + name)

ImportError: cannot import name md5

It looks like Python 2.7 that comes with Splunk have incompatible libraries.

This thread is probably dead since it dates back to 2016.

If anyone else runs into this or any other issue, there is a great troubleshooting section in the installation guide that was constructed based on support tickets. This now corrects nearly all issues with a concise troubleshooting process. If it does not resolve your issue, there is also contact information in the guide as well. If your issue is resolved, please feel free to mark the question as answered. Thank you!
