I am pleased to announce the release of PyLucene 2.0 following the release of Java Lucene 2.0 yesterday.

This release is built from the Java Lucene 2.0.0 tag [1].

Great to hear that!

Binaries for Mac OS X (both PPC and Intel), Linux (Gentoo) and Windows are available. See http://pylucene.osafoundation.org for more details.

Apart from the changes between Java Lucene 1.9.1 and Java Lucene 2.0 [2] which are reflected in PyLucene 2.0, the major new feature in PyLucene 2.0 is that it no longer uses SWIG. The API wrappers are now handcoded in C++.

When you started writing your wrappers, did you consider the Boost.Python system? I'm considering it for some stuff of my own, but haven't looked at it much. Is there a glaring technical shortcoming that makes it unsuitable for PyLucene (or other large projects), or did you just not want to introduce excessive dependencies on PyLucene?
