Package: python-xapian Version: 1.4.1-1 Severity: normal The QueryParser apparently has three overloaded .add_boolean_prefix() methods. The first, listed here:
https://xapian.org/docs/apidoc/html/classXapian_1_1QueryParser.html#a8590431c481fe0eea43cd4ce619a0816 says that the grouping should be specified as an empty string. However, specifying the empty string results in the following exception: servo:~ $ python -c "import xapian; qp = xapian.QueryParser(); qp.add_boolean_prefix('tag', 'K', '')" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xapian/__init__.py", line 10485, in _queryparser_add_boolean_prefix return __queryparser_add_boolean_prefix_orig(self, s, proc, exclusive) TypeError: in method 'QueryParser_add_boolean_prefix', argument 4 of type 'std::string const *' servo:~ 1$ The second version seems to work fine though: servo:~ 0$ python -c "import xapian; qp = xapian.QueryParser(); qp.add_boolean_prefix('tag', 'K', False)" servo:~ 0$ Tried to report this issue upstream directly but I couldn't seem to register an account at trac.xapian.org.
