Installation

Requirements

Pylastica requires python v2.7, the urllib3 package, and the dateutils package. For thrift functionality, the thrift package is required, as well.

Installing

$ pip install pylastica

The urllib3 and dateutils packages will be installed automatically. If you wish to use the thrift transport client, the thrift module must be installed manually:

$ pip install thrift

Connecting to Elasticsearch

Assuming one Elasticsearch node running locally on port 9200:

import pylastica

pylastica_client = pylastica.Client('localhost', 9200)

To connect to multiple nodes:

import pylastica

pylastica_client = pylastica.Client(connections=[
    {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200},
    {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9201}
])
