It gave me a chuckle, since it's an obvious play on the mispronunciation. As for the program itself, I've only had a chance to glance at the site, but it looks a little more akin to Solr than to Lucene. Solr is a Java application that wraps Lucene to present a more convenient interface, although it does this using XML over an HTTP socket. One thing about Solr and probably anything else like this: if you want to handle a high query load with big result sets, you absolutely must have enough ram to cache your entire index. Since ram is expensive and most of it will be sitting there doing nothing during the execution of any query, it follows that you want multiple CPU's sharing the ram. So we're back to the perennial topic of parallelism in Python... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
