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.
