Hi,  
Thanks for porting low level client libraries from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch.  
Is there a high level client library for python (like we have [Elasticsearch-dsl](https://elasticsearch-dsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) available) in the works? This will help move to OpenSearch without changing a lot in our codebase.  
Thanks a lot.

Hey @MadhavVij! Welcome!

I can confirm that there will be a fork of Elasticsearch-dsl (new name: _opensesarch-dsl-py_). However, work on this has just started.
