Hi Andi, thanks for the explanation.
The main problem I've come across so far is that it looks like the main
branch lucene has a lucene41 codec in it that does not appear to be part
of the 4.0 release and (I think) is causing problems creating and/or
retrieving term vectors. I'm not a lucene expert and it's been hard to
diagnose. I also can't use Luke due to the codec.
I tried to set the default codec to lucene40 but then my index writer
complained that lucene40 was only for reading.
I'll try to contribute to porting the unit tests to help move the
release along.

Hi Andi, I was just wondering if Pylucene is on its usual schedule to
release 4-6 weeks after Lucene. I didn't see any discussion of it on
the mailing list or elsewhere. I'm looking forward to 4.0!
Normally, PyLucene is released a few days after a Lucene release but
4.0 has seen so many API changes and removals that all tests and
samples need to be ported to the new API. Last week-end, I ported a
few but lots remain to be.
If no one helps, it either means that no one cares enough or that
everyone is willing to be patient :-)
The PyLucene trunk svn repository is currently tracking the Lucene
Core 4.x branch and you're welcome to use it out of svn. In the ten or
so unit tests I ported so far, I didn't find any issues with PyLucene
proper (or JCC). All changes were due to the tests being out of date
or using deprecated APIs now removed. You might find that PyLucene
out-of-trunk is quite usable.
If people want to help with porting PyLucene unit tests, the ones
under its 'test' directory not yet ported, feel free to ask questions
here.
The gist of it is:
- fix the imports (look at the first few tests for example,
alphabetically)
- fix the tests to pass by looking at the original Java tests for
changes
as most of these tests were originally ported from Java Lucene.
Once you're familiar with the new APIs, porting the sample code in
samples and in LuceneInAction should fairly straightforward. It's just
that there is a lot to port.
Andi..
