I don't think thats necessarily the case, for me (as someone who tries to vote for pylucene releases), the problem was a combination of two things, as I did try to actually test it over the weekend: 1. being on travel, meaning stuck with a mac os X computer. 2. release candidate not compiling on my mac os X computer, because something tries to apply -mno-fused-madd when compiling, apparently this is a common issue with python and mavericks? Two things that may have nothing to do with pylucene, but was pretty annoying specially for a non-python developer :) I am happy to try it on my linux machine tonight!
