[pylucene-dev] building PyLucene from sources on Ubuntu 7.04

[David Pratt]

Woo hoo! While I normally work with FreeBSD, I am hoping to have the 
same result with Fedora Core 6. Not sure if any folks are reporting 
success here. Please post your experiences one way or the other please.

On another note, I wonder if it will be possible to build and install an 
egg eventually. Almost all my python work is moving in this direction, 
it would be nice to be able to install pyLucene in the same way and 
incorporate it into my buildouts. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
