Hi All, TJ Ninneman's solution has worked. When Python is setup with Mod_WSGI on Apache2, it is a recommeded to create a WSGI file in the application and provide it as the root in the Apache2 mod_wsgi settings.
These should be called in the wsgi file at the earliest. import lucene lucene.initVM(classpath=lucene.CLASSPATH, maxheap="512m") lucene.getVMEnv().attachCurrentThread() and then include: lucene.getVMEnv().attachCurrentThread() in the every requested function (i.e. in the requests coming from Apache2 if the request function is accessing any of the Lucene's funcationalities). These two things solve the problem. If there are anyside effects, pls do let me know. Andi, if you wish, there can be a document or README like thing to include these points so that it helps any new commer hereafter. Thanks.
