rethinkdb index-rebuild complains python driver is missing

Ran into this error when trying to run rethinkdb rebuild command:

Error when launching 'rethinkdb-index-rebuild': No such file or directory The rethinkdb-index-rebuild command depends on the RethinkDB Python driver, which must be installed. If the Python driver is already installed, make sure that the PATH environment variable includes the location of the backup scripts, and that the current user has permission to access and run the scripts.

Yet I have the rethinkdb python module installed and path setup properly:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): rethinkdb in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages Cleaning up...

Why doesn't this work?

Turns out it was a feature implemented in a newer version of the python module. Solved it by: 

sudo pip install --upgrade rethinkdb

If the rethinkdb-index-rebuild script is not in your PATH, you might be able to invoke the index-rebuild command as

python -mrethinkdb._index_rebuild
