+elasticsearch5 (Official low level python client for Elasticsearch)
+
+Official low-level client for Elasticsearch.
+Its goal is to provide common ground for all Elasticsearch-related
+code in Python; because of this it tries to be opinion-free and very extendable.
+
+It provides a more convenient and idiomatic way to write and manipulate 
+queries. It stays close to the Elasticsearch JSON DSL, mirroring its 
+terminology and structure while exposing the whole range of the DSL from Python
+either directly using defined classes or a queryset-like expressions.
+
+It also provides an optional persistence layer for working with documents as 
+Python objects in an ORM-like fashion: defining mappings, retrieving and saving
+documents, wrapping the document data in user-defined classes.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
