Do think there will be a day when it will be transparent to work with java classes from python.

With JCC, it's pretty close, as close as I've ever been able to get on CPython at least :)

I will be anxious to learn more. :-)

Will this bring pylucene to an end?

The goal of jcc is to bring handcoded PyLucene to as much an end as possible. Writing Python extensions of Java classes requires some manual work (much less now than before) and extracting all the desired pythonic APIs from jcc requires a long command-line + some extensions. I don't see PyLucene going away completely in the near future but I already threw out tens of thousands of lines of handcoded C++ code in the new PyLucene flavor.

Woo hoo. That's really great. I guess this also eliminates the concern about 2gb since now you are using a stock jvm. I am curious to see how the two versions compare on RAM consumption and speed. I'd expect the old version may likely be bit faster and use less RAM but it will be great to see some benchmarks between the two for sure.

This should work on 10.4.9 just as well. I was being specific about 10.4.10 because I really haven't tried even building this anywhere else but on my personal Mac yet. I intend to give this a try on my old Powerbook G4 next, then Ubuntu, then win2k.

Thanks Andi. I'll likely try and build on CentOS before long since I am working with this more these days.

Regards,
David
