You're not as confused as you think. The pyLucene forked itself into two versions: * pyLucene with GCJ -- only requires gcc's libgcj.so * pyLucene with JCC -- requires JRE However, they appear to have discontinued the gcj version in favour of the "jcc" version due to threading issues and various other problems [1] sometime in June of 2007. Version 2.4 of pylucene has now completely switched over to "jcc" and requires a JRE.
