I am trying to move to data streams and have issues with 8. x

File "/scripts/bin/test/test.py", line 49  
` response = es.cluster.put_component_template(name="icd6_settings", template: icd6_template )`  
^  
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument

If someone has a working call for the settings, mappings, and creating a template I would greatly appreciate it.

It would really be great if the readthedocs site had working examples of each call?
