On line 193 (I believe), in function index() of pyelasticsearch.py, the python API for elasticsearch, there is a typo.

The line reads: "querystring\_args = {'opType':'create'}"  
But should read: "querystring\_args = {'op\_type':'create'}", as the parameter's name is 'op\_type', not 'opType'.

This, of course, will prevent python users from force-inserting, a problem I couldn't figure out why I was having... This seems to be the only problem I have discovered.

This may have been fixed already, but I thought I'd post it in case it hadn't.  
(I pulled pyelasticsearch.py down in version 0.8)

Thanks, I pushed the fix up to github.  
I do have to say though, that I haven't had a chance to update pyelasticsearch for a little while, there may be incompatibilities with the latest version of elasticsearch. Unfortunately the project I was going to use elasticsearch for didn't happen, so I haven't been tracking development closely.
