Our Splunk-administrators here issue authorization-tokens to application-maintainers, instead of user/password credentials. For example, the HTTP-request in our current Python code (using "requests" API) begins with:

                req = requests.Request(
                        'POST',
                        'https://%s:%s/services/collector/event' % (host, port),
                        headers = {
                                'Authorization': 'Splunk %s' % SplunkToken
                        },
                        json = body
                )

Unfortunately, the documented .splunkrc syntax does not allow to specify token and, presumably, the code, which reads the file, would not make use of it either.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow users to use the token (or authtoken), whether read from .splunkrc, or command-line, or passed as a function-argument.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I may give some other -- unofficial -- Splunk client Python-libraries a shot, until this is implemented. Or -- continue using our own :(
