python elasticsearch client set mappings during create index

Question

I can set mappings of index being created in curl command like this:

{  
  "mappings":{  
    "logs_june":{  
      "_timestamp":{  
        "enabled":"true"
      },
      "properties":{  
        "logdate":{  
          "type":"date",
          "format":"dd/MM/yyy HH:mm:ss"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

But I need to create that index with elasticsearch client in python and set mappings.. what is the way ? I tried somethings below but not work:

self.elastic_con = Elasticsearch([host], verify_certs=True)
self.elastic_con.indices.create(index="accesslog", ignore=400)
params = "{\"mappings\":{\"logs_june\":{\"_timestamp\": {\"enabled\": \"true\"},\"properties\":{\"logdate\":{\"type\":\"date\",\"format\":\"dd/MM/yyy HH:mm:ss\"}}}}}"
self.elastic_con.indices.put_mapping(index="accesslog",body=params)

You can simply add the mapping in the create call like this:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

self.elastic_con = Elasticsearch([host], verify_certs=True)
mapping = '''
{  
  "mappings":{  
    "logs_june":{  
      "_timestamp":{  
        "enabled":"true"
      },
      "properties":{  
        "logdate":{  
          "type":"date",
          "format":"dd/MM/yyy HH:mm:ss"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'''
self.elastic_con.indices.create(index='test-index', ignore=400, body=mapping)
