DEA (Django-Elasticsearch-App) is a lightweight app that connect to a local o a remote Elasticsearch node and show an editor to set your query.
No Haystack, no heavy staff :D
If you prefer to run it directly on your local machine, I suggest using virtualenv (maybe have a look at virtualenvwrapper), anyway here the commands you have to enter:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To download a local copy of Elasticsearch go to :

Click on this magic button to automatically deploy this app on a free heroku dyno ;)
