Hello @Woiea, and thanks for your report. We're going to need more information to help you.

• What are you trying to do? Did you use to have working code?
• Can you please paste the full traceback and not just cannot import name 'ApiError' from 'elasticsearch.exceptions'?
• RequestsHttpConnection was a class in elasticsearch-py 7.x, but it does not exist in elasticsearch-py 8.x. This should be the first error. Can you please paste the output of python -m pip freeze?

I'm trying to run my code to access the elasticksearch database, and haven't used the code yet. Just import the libraries.

RequestsHttpConnection doesn't cause any error until now.

python -m pip freeze:

elastic-transport==8.13.1
elasticsearch==8.14.0
elasticsearch-dsl==8.14.0

The elasticsearch-py package in /data/usr/tools/miniconda/envs/pytorch/lib/python3.10/site-packages/elasticsearch/ is not version 8.14.0. With 8.14.0, import RequestsHttpConnection should fail, while import ApiError from exceptions should work:

>>> from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'RequestsHttpConnection' from 'elasticsearch' (/home/q/src/elasticsearch-py/elasticsearch/__init__.py)
>>> from elasticsearch.exceptions import ApiError
>>> 

To confirm this, you should add the following code at the top in search_in_es.py (before any other imports):

import elasticsearch
print(elasticsearch.__versionstr__)
