Not to mention Lupy.

Hasn't it been relatively well-established that trying to create a performant search engine in a dynamic interpreted language is a show- stopper? After several failed ports of lucene (I can add to this my own, unreleased, attempt) I just don't see the point, except as an academic exercise. This is true even with selective optimization in c. I think that the core engine needs to be in c/java to achieve feasibility--there's nothing stopping a cool dynamic language wrapping the core (see Lucy).

good luck,

Dear list,

I have recently begun a Python port of Lucene, named Lucille. It is
still very much a work in progress, but I hope to have a
feature-complete release compatible with Lucene 2.1 done in the near future.

The project homepage is at: http://www.djc.id.au/lucille/

Contributions, feedback, and questions are most welcome!

P.S. A big thanks to the Lucene contributors for their hard work in
building a great piece of software.
