A great source of answers to general Lucene API usage questions is:
     java-user at lucene.apache.org
Even though this pertains to the Java APIs, the PyLucene APIs are the same, 
except for some additions that make the PyLucene APIs more pythonic. All 
answers you can get there to general Lucene API questions are equally 
applicable to PyLucene.
