Full Text Search Engine for Python

Question

I am looking for a full-text Python search engine.

I took a look at PyLucense, but I think using a Java library in a Python project is not very good. As I understand it, Sphinx does not have a Python API.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Have you watched Whoosh ? This is pure Python.

Answer 2

"Sphinx does not have a Python API"

wrong. Download the release and seesphinx/api/sphinxapi.py

I use it myself, and I am very pleased with it. The documentation is for PHP only, but the Python API uses exact names for all functions.

Answer 3
