+Example code for `elasticsearch-py`
+===================================
+
+This example code demonstrates the features and use patterns for the Python client.
+
+To run this example make sure you have elasticsearch running on port 9200,
+install additional dependencies (on top of `elasticsearch-py`)::
+
+    pip install python-dateutil GitPython
+
+And now you can load the index (the index will be called `git`)::
+
+    python load.py
+
+This will create an index with mappings and parse the git information of this
+repository and load all the commits into it. You can run some sample queries by
+running::
+
+    python queries.py
+
+Look at the `queries.py` file for querying example and `load.py` on examples on
+loading data into elasticsearch. Both `load` and `queries` set up logging so in
+`/tmp/es_trace.log` you will have a transcript of the commands being run in the
+curl format.
