It could be good, but it does not have a MySQL-style server, where you can access the server through a Python API. It has an optional Python format for search results, but that is not the same thing as a full API. For one thing, the Python wrapper uses one-off HTTP connections instead of persistent IP ports. PyLucene works for me. Since it was successfully installed on the computers where I need it, and since I already wrote a 400-line PyLucene interface for my needs, I am going to stick with it for a while. And Andi certainly deserves credit for helping me install it on my Ubuntu x64 computer. -- /\ Greg Kuperberg (UC Davis) / \ Home page: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~greg/ \ / Visit the Math ArXiv Front at http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/ \/ * All the math that's fit to e-print * _______________________________________________ pylucene-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/pylucene-dev
