Hello all,

I'm working with a cohort's python script, which calls on the elasticsearch module. However, when I run it in Jupyter, I get the following error:

> * * *
> 
> ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)  
> in ()  
> 2 for i in range(0,6):  
> 3 print('working on page: %d' %(i+1))  
> ----\> 4 ingester(url\_base+str(i\*50))

> 5 import re  
> 6 import time  
> ----\> 7 from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch  
> 8 es = Elasticsearch()  
> 9 #start session s
> 
> ImportError: No module named 'elasticsearch'

I'm using python 3.6 and jupyter is using the python 3 kernel. I've already installed the elasticsearch module by typing "sudo pip install elasticsearch" at the command line (this is on Ubuntu) and even did a restart just to be on the safe side.

If it helps, the entirety of the code is at:

(the login info has obviously been changed)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
