[pylucene-dev] Bug: IndexWriter.deleteDocuments missing

[Pete]

As of Lucene2.1, IndexWriter grew a deleteDocuments method: 
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_1_0/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_1_0/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriter.html#deleteDocuments(org.apache.lucene.index.Term)

This method used to be only available on IndexReader, while addDocument is on 
IndexWriter.  This makes writing code that both adds & deletes documents much 
more natural. 

However, the deleteDocuments method doesn't appear to be in PyLucene:

In [1]: from PyLucene import *

In [2]: VERSION
Out[2]: '2.1.0-2'

In [3]: IndexWriter.deleteDocuments
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError: type object 'PyLucene.IndexWriter' has no 
attribute 'deleteDocuments'

I suspect this wrapping for this method was just overlooked: 
http://svn.osafoundation.org/pylucene/trunk/CHANGES

I only noticed the Java version when browsing the Lucene Changelog: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_1_0/CHANGES.txt

Originating Ticket in Lucene's JIRA (warning: it's long & boring): 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-565
