Python version for curator

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

A quick question: Is Python 2 acceptable for use with curator, or is Python
3 required?

Thanks!

Brian

To continue, I installed curator on a Python 2.6.6 system thusly:

pip install elasticsearch-curator

And Elasticsearch 1.2.1 is installed on the same server. But when running
curator --help, I see:

$ curator --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/curator", line 5, in
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2655, in

working_set.require(requires)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 648, in
require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in
resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: elasticsearch>=1.0.0,<2.0.0

This was per the information found at:

I'm not a Python dev (yet, anyway) but I don't believe I left anything out
that was explicitly mentioned on the curator github page.

pip install elasticsearch

should solve the problem, though it is listed in dependencies, so it should
just work from the beginning.
elasticsearch is listing python 2 and 3, curator doesn't list any, but I
don't see anything version-specific in its code, so should work with any
verions.
I've tested it with python3.

Hi Brian,

you seem to have hit an issue we have had with curator, there are some
solutions and workarounds on the github issue:

hope this helps,

An update: I have installed curator 1.2.2 by downloading the zip archive,
unpacking it, and then installing it directly:

$ cd curator-1.2.2
$ sudo python setup.py install

Not sure if it's the fix since the previous version of curator, or else the
pip-less install. But either way, it's working fine just as expected. And
it works superbly!
