I´m having a issue when I ran "python manage.py rebuild_index" in my app supported by haystack and elasticsearch.
Python 2.7 Django version 1.6.2 Haystack 2.1.0 Elasticsearch 1.0
Please see the error that is appearing:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 399, in > execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 392, in > execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 242, in >run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.dict) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 285, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/rebuild_index.py", line 15, in handle call_command('clear_index', **options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 159, in call_command return klass.execute(*args, **defaults) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 285, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/management/commands/clear_index.py", line 48, in handle backend = connections[backend_name].get_backend() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/utils/loading.py", line 98, in getitem self._connections[key] = load_backend(self.connections_info[key]['ENGINE'])(using=key) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/utils/loading.py", line 51, in load_backend return import_class(full_backend_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/utils/loading.py", line 18, in import_class module_itself = importlib.import_module(module_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 40, in import_module import(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/haystack/backends/elasticsearch_backend.py", line 21, in raise MissingDependency("The 'elasticsearch' backend requires the installation of 'requests'.") haystack.exceptions.MissingDependency: The 'elasticsearch' backend requires the installation of 'requests'.
I've installed all the packages needed to run those apps however is asking about requests, What is it about?
If you just install requests module through pip this error should go away.
