In python client, when I try to disable '\_all' field, it return error:

"\_all": { "enabled": false },  
NameError: name 'false' is not defined

Does anyone know if the python client supports diabling the \_all field?

False may be?

Thank you for replying, David!

You are right, using 'False' works.
