[pylucene-dev] Examples?

[Andrzej Bialecki]

Hi,

I'm coming here from the Java Lucene camp - just spotted the 
announcement, and I'm quite excited. This is an excellent news, and the 
decision to split it as a separate project is very wise, IMHO. You can 
expect other language bindings to pop up very quickly... :-)

I got the Windows binary, initially I had some problems opening an index 
- it looks like the compound file format is giving PyLucene a trouble (I 
think it was already supported in the 1.3-final), but when I converted 
it to the classic format it groks it just fine. However, compound format 
is your friend (it is the default in 1.4 branch).

I'll try to setup some comprehensive benchmark, if time permits - I'd 
appreciate your help, e.g. the scripts you guys are using to benchmark 
PyLucene. I noticed that many base classes from Lucene (like primitive 
Query types) are not exposed, you can only produce them through the 
QueryParser (but this has some unpleasant side effects). Is it possible 
to add them? As well as other types of analyzers - the StandardAnalyzer 
is quite intrusive, and its escaping quirks are close to black art...

Thanks in advance, and congratulations on the excellent project!
