Is there a pure Python Lucene?

Question

The ruby folks have Ferret. Someone know of any similar initiative for Python? We\'re using PyLucene at current, but I\'d like to investigate moving to pure Python searching.

Answer 1

After weeks of searching for this, I found a nice Python solution: repoze.catalog. It's not strictly Python-only because it uses ZODB for storage, but it seems a better dependency to me than something like SOLR.
