Fails to run elastalert-create-index with python 3

See original GitHub issue

Using Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit, v0.0.79 (issue is also present in v0.0.77) and python 3, installation (python3 setup.py install) was successful.

However, running elastalert-create-index shows fails with the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/elastalert-create-index", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('elastalert==0.0.79', 'console_scripts', 'elastalert-create-index')()

    from auth import Auth
ImportError: No module named 'auth'

There seems to be a missing dependency (that isn’t checked at installation time) but I can’t find the name of the package for ‘auth’ (containing ‘Auth’).
