OSAF announces open source Chandler subproject - PyLucene

[Ted Leung]

We invite you to take a look at the new OSAF project at   
http://pylucene.osafoundation.org

PyLucene is a Python wrapper around the Lucene indexing and search  
engine. It was developed by Andi Vajda at OSAF for use in Chandler.  
PyLucene is a way of letting Python use Lucene to do full text  
indexing.

There has been a lot of interest and feedback from the Python developer  
community that it would be nice to be able to get this functionality  
without having to deal with all of the Chandler source tree. This  
interest lead naturally to the idea of a separate project.

During the weekly OSAF IRC Office Hour on June 23, 2003 there was a  
discussion with Andi, the original developer of PyLucene about its  
origins, scope, and current status. You can review this conversation on  
the IRC log  
<http://kahuna.osafoundation.org/~ducky/
