Hi All,  
I am using Elasticsearch with Python using Docker on the MacBook Pro and getting the following error. The index is created but still getting the exception.

**Print Logs:**

ElasticConnect.es = Elasticsearch([
                {'host': 'python_elasticsearch', 'port': 9200, 'scheme': 'http'}

May be try:

```auto
ElasticConnect.es = Elasticsearch([
                {'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200, 'scheme': 'https'}
            ]);

```
