Dear All, I have recently installed pylucene (or so I hope), and I have been trying to get started on it. Most of the examples I found the web have been using 'import PyLucene', however I have noted that examples from the Lucene documentation only use 'lucene'. For me, PyLucene does not work for import on the latest vesion I installed here (Lucene 4.5.1, python 2.7 on a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) but import lucene works.
Was PyLucene deprecated or have I done something wrong along the steps? Second, Seeing a talk from one of your conferences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCsS5ePGmCs gave me some hope to introduce Lucene in an Information Retrieval class for undergrads along with the theoretical concepts such as the one presented like boolean and vector. Is there any other introductory material to PyLucene along those lines that could be more oriented for students? I was planning on creating a small usable example such as this presentation (http://inkdroid.org/talks/pylucene/) where Lucene is used to index e-mails (our university has quite a large quantity of e-mails that use this system so it could be quite interesting for the class as an assignment). But again, the cited code use PyLucene and so does the 'import mailbox' which makes the code unusable. If no such material is available and you could provide me some pointers on how to get started, I would be glad to contribute it as introductory material that could be used for other courses if it is of your interest. I have scanned other courses from other universities but they apparently do not use this approach. Best, Carlos Andrade http://carlosandrade.co
