title: Connecting to ES using python script
body: <p>I am trying to connect and retrieve data from a ES engine.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the following script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch as ES
  
  print "Setup connection..."
  es=ES(['http://elasticsearch......com:9200/cuevents-2014.34,cuevents-2014.33/_search?pretty'])
  print "Done!"
  
  print "Count number of users..."
  print es.count(index='cuevents-2014.34')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am getting the following messaged returned instead.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Setup connection...
  No handlers could be found for logger "elasticsearch"
  Done!
  Count number of users...
