[Python-modules-team] Bug#829487: Bug#829487: New upstream release available

[Santiago Vila]

Hi.

Version 7.0.0 was released several weeks ago:

https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/releases

While we are at it: Documentation at https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py says:

For Elasticsearch 7.0 and later, use the major version 7 (7.x.y) of the library.
For Elasticsearch 6.0 and later, use the major version 6 (6.x.y) of the library.
For Elasticsearch 5.0 and later, use the major version 5 (5.x.y) of the library.
For Elasticsearch 2.0 and later, use the major version 2 (2.x.y) of the library, and so on.

Does this mean that python-elasticsearch in Debian will only work
properly with a specific elasticsearch version?

I ask because this package is currently a dependency for elastalert,
which still does not work with elasticsearch 7.0, and will probably
need this module to be updated.

Thanks.
