I have developed a plugin to manage user info on elasticsearch,and need to call a python script,but when require('python-shell'), kibana just can't start up and report the error: Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'child\_process' 。I just wrote this in a standalone js file,run from node ,it works very well. It's so wired, kibana or babel have add some limit? ---

Are you trying to run this in the browser/from the `public` directory? The python-shell module uses `child_process` which will be available on the server but not in the browser. ---
