[Dev] OSAF announces open source Chandler subproject - PyLucene

[Pieter Hartsook]

We invite you to take a look at this new OSAF project at <  
http://pylucene.osafoundation.org >

PyLucene is a Python wrapper around the Lucene indexing and search  
engine. It was developed by Andi Vajda at OSAF for use in Chandler. 
PyLucene is a way of letting Python use Lucene to do full text indexing.

There has been a lot of interest from the Python developer community and 
feedback that it would be nice to be able to get this functionality 
without having to deal with all of the rest of the Chandler source tree. 
This interest leads naturally to the idea of a separate project.

During the weekly OSAF IRC Office Hour on June 23, 2003 there was a  
discussion with Andi, the original developer of PyLucene  about its 
origins, scope, and current status. You can review this conversation  on 
the IRC log (from 11:00 to noon) at: <
