We've ran into a problem with the Python client: IndicesClient.analyze throws an exception with a unicode body. For example, this fails: client.indices.analyze(body=u'привет') Unicode in other places works fine; am I doing something wrong or is it okay to submit a patch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
