I am trying out the basic code from curator

[http://curator.readthedocs.io/en/4.0/examples.html](http://curator.readthedocs.io/en/4.0/examples.html)

and i try

```
import elasticsearch
import curator
if __name__ == ' __main__':
    client = elasticsearch.Elasticsearch([{'host': "http://localhost", 'port':9200}])

    ilo = curator.IndexList(client)
    ilo.filter_by_regex(kind='prefix', value='logstash-')
    print ilo

```

but i get

```
ilo = curator.IndexList(client)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IndexList'

```

what am i missing?
