I'm wondering what the best combination of Django-Haystack + elasticsearch + pyelasticsearch/elasticsearch-py is. I've deployed a setup using Haystack 2.1.1-dev + elasticsearch 1.1.1 + elasticsearch-py 1.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I tried using Haystack 2.1.0 (latest stable release) with elasticsearch 1.1.1 and pyelasticsearch 0.6.1, but it kept throwing me an error saying Django-Haystack depends on pyelasticsearch; so I switched to 2.1.1-dev, which worked beautifully.
But now I'm trying deploy an instance of a Django app to a CentOS 6.5 machine (Haystack 2.1.1-dev + elasticsearch 1.1.1 + elasticsearch-py 1.0), and I'm getting the same pyelasticsearch dependency error.
Any hints or tips from someone who has deployed to CentOS would be much appreciated.
