 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.

 `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/).
