@warkolm  
I write a python script just below ,

```auto
def boo(pid):
    if pid>200:
         return True
    return False 
boo(doc['pid'].value)==True

```

it doesn't work, and below script can work

```auto
doc['pid'].value>200

```

@warkolm  
I put it below `elasticsearch2.4/config/scripts/test.py`,and query like this

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  },
  "post_filter": {
    "script": {
      "script": {
        "lang": "python",
        "file":"test"
      }
    }
  }
}

```
