Welcome to the PyLucene web

PyLucene is a GCJ-compiled version of Java Lucene integrated with Python. Its goal is to allow you to use Lucene's text indexing and searching capabilities from Python. It is designed to be API compatible with the latest version of Java Lucene.

As of release 2.0, SWIG is no longer used. The Python wrapper objects are implemented by hand using the Python C Type System for better integration with Python and for faster C++/Java access.

Latest Release: 2.1.0-2 (19 Mar 2007)
