# cd bindings/python/
# splunk cmd python setup.py install

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]

Any clues? I'm not so good with python, would be grateful for any assistance!

Thanks!

Yes, I'm trying to add that app actually, and I can't build sigar, so can't "Make sure you've correctly built the python bindings for SIGAR"

Sorry, reading my question back now I realised I hadn't mentioned that. Looks like a useful app, but I simply can't build the python binding - the Java builds fine, I'm using Centos5...

What errors are you getting when trying to build sigar outside of Splunk?
