since you found the list, i presume you can google and looking for
something pythonic. we tried a few options but it's bleak. for a
pythonic solution, look at TextIndexNG3 (Zope). i'll take some
fiddling, though: http://sourceforge.net/projects/textindexng; if
something with a py wrapper will do, you might as well go with the big
guns: lucence. we found that to work very well and that includes SA
integration (http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/textproc/py-lucene.html)
