elastalert v0.2.0b2

Hi,

Starting now to learn about elastalert (and not exactly a Python expert) but when trying to use v0.2.0b2 I get this error:

root@ebs-cybersecurity-alerts:/opt/elastalert# python elastalert/elastalert.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-2.21.0-py2.7.egg/requests/__init__.py:91: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.25.2) or chardet (3.0.4) doesn't match a supported version!
RequestsDependencyWarning)

File "/opt/elastalert/elastalert/util.py", line 13, in
from . import ElasticSearchClient
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

I did a pip install of elasticsearch library 7.0.0

the setup.py install didn't return any errors. This is Ubuntu 19.04.

Thanks,
Alex

Try python -m elastalert.elastalert instead of python elastalert/elastalert.py

Can you assist?

This might be a Python3.4 issue, could you try 3.5 and see if you get the same error?
