I couldn't figure out the rationale for having Hits and IndexReader

I assume this was discussed somewhere, but I couldn't find the
discussion. Could someone point me there?
The reason is that when iterating hits you might need the hit number to access
more information from the hits such as the score of the hit. In other words, a
enumeration of hits is more than an enumeration of docs.
In PyLucene 2.0, I've changed it so that it works more like the new Java
Lucene HitIterator class and returns a Hit object from which the doc, score,
etc... can be accessed. In order to remain backwards compatible with the
earlier form, the Hit object expands into (i, doc) when asked to do so (it
implements a sequence of two elements).
PyLucene 2.0 is available from PyLucene's svn repository trunk. Its actual
release is waiting for Java Lucene 2.0 to be released which hasn't happened
yet.
