I was going to wait to go public with this until I had something more presentable, but... As a result of the Pycon sprints, I'm pleased to announce Grassyknoll: http://code.google.com/p/grassyknoll/ From the wiki: Grassy Knoll is a lightweight full text search web service. * Buzzwords: It is written in Python and provides a REST API. * English: Index & search text over HTTP. * About Me: Networked. Reasonably smart. Reasonably friendly. Language agnostic. Slick. Modern. Won't walk your dog. * Seeking: Any application able to speak HTTP. We don't even need to tell your current database. Basically, I'm building an HTTP wrapper around PyLucene. The project is similar to Solr, but more Pythonic. Less XML, optional schemas and definitely no Java. We're aiming for a standalone multi-threaded server with high performance. The goal is to support a wide variety of wire protocols and provide reasonable semantics. See http://code.google.com/p/grassyknoll/w/list , especially CodeStatus and FuturePlans. The project is early alpha at this point, but a working proof of concept using JSON can be found at http://grassyknoll.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.1/ and is also available from the Cheeseshop. There's no client ATM, but curl has been working fine here. BSD license. Assistance is certainly appreciated. I've got a bit more fidding to do with the interal APIs and a bunch of tickets to open. Hopefully by the end of the week. Development will be taking place mostly over IRC, though I do read email. If there's sufficient interest, I'll set up a mailing list and #channel on freenode. --Pete -- Peter Fein || 773-575-0694 || [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~pfein/ || PGP: 0xCCF6AE6B irc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pylucene-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/pylucene-dev
