I'm trying to use a python script to create a custom score. I installed the plugin doing this: bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-python/1.1.0 It seemed to work fine. When the server starts up, I get this: 2012-03-14 18:18:33,103][INFO][node] [Grey King] {0.18.7}[1062]: initializing ... [2012-03-14 18:18:33,115][INFO][plugins] [Grey King] loaded [lang-python], sites [] [2012-03-14 18:18:34,294][WARN][script] [Grey King] no script engine found for [py] [2012-03-14 18:18:34,529][INFO][node] [Grey King] {0.18.7}[1062]: initialized [2012-03-14 18:18:34,529][INFO][node] [Grey King] {0.18.7}[1062]: starting ... Result of query trying to use it is: nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[script\_lang not supported [python]]; }]","status":500} What else do I need to do to support a Python script? Thanks, Brandon ---

Just to add some clarification, here is the query: curl -X GET "[http://localhost:9200/employers/employer/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/employers/employer/_search?pretty=true)" -d '{"query":{"custom\_score":{"params":{"param1":3},"script":"weight(param1)","lang":"python","query":{"query\_string":{"query":"fa\*"}}}}}' On Wednesday, March 14, 2012 6:22:21 PM UTC-4, Brandon Hilkert wrote: > I'm trying to use a python script to create a custom score.

Check the readme: [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-lang-python: Python language Plugin for elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-python), 1.1.0 only supports 0.19.0, not 0.18 version.

Excusse the newbie question, but... Where exactly should this bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-python/1.2.0. be run? do I need to git clone the repository? there is no "bin" folder there. ---

you should run bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-python/1.2.0 in the bin/ directory of you elasticsearch installation. if there is no bin folder there is something wrong. Make sure you get a copy from [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/download/) and unzip / tar it in order to install the plugin. you don't need to clone the plugin git repo. simon On Sunday, March 3, 2013 9:30:21 AM UTC+1, Eran wrote: > Excusse the newbie question, but... > Where exactly should this bin/plugin -install > elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-python/1.2.0. be run? > do I need to git clone the repository? there is no "bin" folder there. > > -- > View this message in context: > [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Python-support-for-custom-score-tp3827038p4030871.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Python-support-for-custom-score-tp3827038p4030871.html) > Sent from the Elasticsearch Users mailing list archive at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
