**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
opensearch 2.7.0  
python module “opensearch-py” 2.2.0

**Describe the issue** :  
I did “pip3 install opensearch-py”  
and then

```auto
rom opensearch import OpenSearch

host = 'localhost'
port = 9200
auth = ('admin', 'admin')
ca_certs_path = 'root_ca.pem'

 client = OpenSearch(
     hosts = [{'host': host, 'port': port}],
     http_auth = auth,
     use_ssl = True,
     verify_certs = True,
     ssl_assert_hostname = False,
     ssl_show_warn = False,
     ca_certs = ca_certs_path
 )

client.security.get_tanant("tenant")

```

I run this .py then gave this error

`AttributeError: 'OpenSearch' object has no attribute 'security'`

how to solve it?

and also there are no opensearchpy.plugins.security in Opensearch  
there is only alerting in opensearch.plugins

@cucukaka As far as I can see, this has not been released yet.

The latest opensearch-py version is 2.2.0 and was released on March 1st. The security plugin support in the Python client was merged 2 weeks ago.
