Hi,
When I try to set the JRE Installation path(java_home) during configuration of Splunk DB connect 3.2.0 I get the following error; "A bytes like object is required, not string". I'm currently using Splunk Enterprise 8.0.1, with python 3.7 set as the default python version. This error only occurs when I use python 3.7, using python 2.7 removes the problem.
The whole problem seems to originate from how the different python versions handles strings, as described by [Splunk][1](I dont have enough karma to post links so ill just quote it):
"In Python 2, a native, default string is a binary or "bytes" string. In Python 3, a native string is instead a unicode string. Python 3 is strict about not mixing different types of strings. Often, an explicit conversion is needed or a runtime error is produced.
In Python 2, default and binary strings shared the same type but in Python 3, you now must keep the two string types distinctly separated. Binary data should not be stored in a default string since Python 3 defaults to unicode strings, not binary."
So my question is how do I convert the string to a bytes like object?
