 # OpenSearch client compatibility
 
+OpenSearch provides clients for several popular programming languages, with more coming. In general, clients are compatible with clusters running the same major version of OpenSearch (`major.minor.patch`).
+
+For example, a 1.0.0 client works with an OpenSearch 1.1.0 cluster, but might not support any non-breaking API changes in OpenSearch 1.1.0. A 1.2.0 client works with the same cluster, but might allow you to pass unsupported options in certain functions. We recommend using the same version for both, but if your tests pass after a cluster upgrade, you don't necessarily need to upgrade your clients immediately.

+## Legacy clients
+
 Most clients that work with Elasticsearch OSS 7.10.2 *should* work with OpenSearch, but the latest versions of those clients might include license or version checks that artificially break compatibility. This page includes recommendations around which versions of those clients to use for best compatibility with OpenSearch.

+# Python client
+
+The OpenSearch Python client provides a more natural syntax for interacting with your cluster. Rather than sending HTTP requests to a given URL, you can create an OpenSearch client for your cluster and call the client's built-in functions.
+
+{% comment %}
+`opensearch-py` is the lower-level of the two Python clients. If you want a general client for assorted operations, it's a great choice. If you want a higher-level client strictly for indexing and search operations, consider [opensearch-dsl-py]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/clients/python-dsl/).
+{% endcomment %}
+
+
+## Setup
+
+To add the client to your project, install it using [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/):
+
+```bash
+pip install opensearch-py
+```
+
+Then import it like any other module:
+
+```python
+from opensearchpy import OpenSearch
+```
+
+If you prefer to add the client manually or just want to examine the source code, see [opensearch-py on GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py).
+
+
+## Sample code
+
+```python
+from opensearchpy import OpenSearch
+
+host = 'localhost'
+port = 9200
+auth = ('admin', 'admin') # For testing only. Don't store credentials in code.
+ca_certs_path = '/full/path/to/root-ca.pem' # Provide a CA bundle if you use intermediate CAs with your root CA.
+
+# Optional client certificates if you don't want to use HTTP basic authentication.
+# client_cert_path = '/full/path/to/client.pem'
+# client_key_path = '/full/path/to/client-key.pem'
+
+# Create the client with SSL/TLS enabled, but hostname verification disabled.
+client = OpenSearch(
+    hosts = [{'host': host, 'port': port}],
+    http_compress = True, # enables gzip compression for request bodies
+    http_auth = auth,
+    # client_cert = client_cert_path,
+    # client_key = client_key_path,
+    use_ssl = True,
+    verify_certs = True,
+    ssl_assert_hostname = False,
+    ssl_show_warn = False,
+    ca_certs = ca_certs_path
+)
+
+# Create an index with non-default settings.
+index_name = 'python-test-index'
+index_body = {
+  'settings': {
+    'index': {
+      'number_of_shards': 4
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+response = client.indices.create(index_name, body=index_body)
+print('\nCreating index:')
+print(response)
+
+# Add a document to the index.
+document = {
+  'title': 'Moneyball',
+  'director': 'Bennett Miller',
+  'year': '2011'
+}
+id = '1'
+
+response = client.index(
+    index = index_name,
+    body = document,
+    id = id,
+    refresh = True
+)
+
+print('\nAdding document:')
+print(response)
+
+# Search for the document.
+q = 'miller'
+query = {
+  'size': 5,
+  'query': {
+    'multi_match': {
+      'query': q,
+      'fields': ['title^2', 'director']
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+response = client.search(
+    body = query,
+    index = index_name
+)
+print('\nSearch results:')
+print(response)
+
+# Delete the document.
+response = client.delete(
+    index = index_name,
+    id = id
+)
+
+print('\nDeleting document:')
+print(response)
+
+# Delete the index.
+response = client.indices.delete(
+    index = index_name
+)
+
+print('\nDeleting index:')
+print(response)
+```
