Hey all, I wrote a wrapper around 'elasticsearch-py' to simplify building JSON queries. It aims to mimic the Django Queryset API so make it easier to work with and replicate queries against elasticsearch. Check it out here[https://github.com/Yipit/pyeqs](https://github.com/Yipit/pyeqs) . Thanks, Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Andrew, Looks interesting, but you may also want to take a look at haystack, which appears to support similar functionality. That said, an ES specific API definitely has it's benefits, as you can more quickly implement ES specific features.

Hey Michael, We used to use Haystack, but found it to be a bit too complex and hard to work with when you wanted more than just the basic functionality, since it has to support multiple search backends. After posting to HN found a few alternatives as well. ElasticUtils Elasticsearch-dsl-py \<- Official Client, but still in progress.
