Unable to use TransformFunction in vertica_sdk.

What i am trying to do is execute vertica's string tokenizer example which is written in python.

Here is the link to the said example:https://www.vertica.com/docs/9.2.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/ExtendingVertica/UDx/TransformFunctions/Python/ExampleStringTokenizer.htm?TocPath=Extending Vertica|Developing%20User-Defined%20Extensions%20(UDxs)|Transform%20Functions%20(UDTFs)|Python%20API|_____2

This is what my code looks like

import vertica_sdk
class StringTokenizer(vertica_sdk.TransformFunction):
    """
    Transform function which tokenizes its inputs.
    For each input string, each of the whitespace-separated tokens of that
    string is produced as output.
    """
    def processPartition(self, server_interface, input, output):
        while True:
            for token in input.getString(0).split():
                output.setString(0, token)
                output.next()
            if not input.next():
                break


class StringTokenizerFactory(vertica_sdk.TransformFunctionFactory):
    def getPrototype(self, server_interface, arg_types, return_type):
        arg_types.addVarchar()
        return_type.addVarchar()
    def getReturnType(self, server_interface, arg_types, return_type):
        return_type.addColumn(arg_types.getColumnType(0), "tokens")
    def createTransformFunction(cls, server_interface):
        return StringTokenizer()


This is what im getting as my output when I execute the command

create library sampy as '/home/dbadmin/udx/tokenize.py' language 'Python';
ROLLBACK 2175:  An error occurred when loading library file on node v_prmtest_node0001, message:

    class StringTokenizer(vertica_sdk.TransformFunction):

Please help and thanks in advance.

    What is your vertica version? we started supporting python UDx recently.
