[BUG] Can't compile on OSX

[Scoubi]

Describe the bug
Library conflict.

ERROR: Cannot install splunk-eventgen and splunk-eventgen==7.2.1 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    splunk-eventgen 7.2.1 depends on urllib3==1.24.2
    requests 2.19.1 depends on urllib3<1.24 and >=1.21.1
    splunk-eventgen 7.2.1 depends on urllib3==1.24.2
    requests 2.19.0 depends on urllib3<1.24 and >=1.21.1
    splunk-eventgen 7.2.1 depends on urllib3==1.24.2
    requests 2.18.4 depends on urllib3<1.23 and >=1.21.1

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

**Expected behavior**
I expect the package to compile

**Actual behavior**
Package do not compile because of urllib version requirement conflicts

**Screenshots**
All terminal out put

**Sample files and eventgen.conf file**
Did not modify


**Additional context**
Running on OSX.
Install poetry via `brew`

I tried to change urllib3 version pin to 1.14 in both `splunk_eventgen/lib/requirements.txt` and `./poetry.lock` with no success

I got this problem too

Experiencing the same issue on a RHEL 8.8 installation, in a Python 3.9 virtual environment. I've tested poetry build when cloning both the develop branch and the master branch. Same issue in both cases. I have also attempted tweaks to requirements.txt and the poetry.lock file. Would like to use eventgen outside of Splunk so would be nice to get some help.

After much troubleshooting, this is a way that worked for me:

python3.8 -m venv ".eventgen"
source ~/.eventgen/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade requests==2.20.0
pip install --upgrade urllib3==1.24.2

Install poetry through running:
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org/ | python
Source for the command: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry

Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/splunk/eventgen.git

Make the following changes to eventgen/pyproject.toml:

Run this in the eventgen git repo root directory:

cd dist
pip install splunk_eventgen-7.2.1.tar.gz

It should build fine and splunk_eventgen should be a valid command.

I am afraid my workaround malfunctions. It seems it is not possible to forward logs through the local heavy forwarder. Guess there's more to it.

I was able to get it working in Docker using the following (hacky) Dockerfile:

FROM --platform=linux/x86-64 python:3.8.5

RUN git clone https://www.github.com/splunk/eventgen
WORKDIR /eventgen
RUN git checkout master
RUN curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
RUN /root/.local/bin/poetry build
RUN pip install dist/splunk_eventgen-7.2.1.tar.gz
RUN pip install markupsafe==2.0.1

Then run the following command from the directory where the Dockerfile is:

docker build -t eventgen .

Then run:

docker run --rm -t -i eventgen:latest /bin/bash

From the resulting shell you can then run the splunk_eventgen command line.

Am able to push events to the HEC using this method from my Mac

Same issue. A new release would be appreciated.
