I have been trying to customize the similarity function in Lucene (the
primary objective was to shut off the lengthNorm factor in Similarity
Class). I was unsuccessful in it, then i got a couple of archived mails on
this mailing lists. I got a fair idea, but I am still not so sure how to
proceed in the PyLucene-2.0 version.

Similarity can be implemented in Python by creating a Python class that implements the Similarity methods (the native methods declared in [1]). You can pass instances of this class to any Lucene API expecting a Similarity instance. PyLucene will wrap this instance with a Java instance of PythonSimilarity [1], the actual Similarity Java subclass visible to Lucene, but which calls into your Python implementation class.

For examples see:
  - test/test_Similarity.py
  - samples/LuceneInAction/lia/searching/ScoreTest.py

Andi..
