ANNOUNCING NUCULAR 0.4 ====================== This release adds a simple "table space" wrapper which makes Nucular easier to use for some purposes. It also fixes a number of bugs.
WHERE IS IT? Find documentation and downloads at http://nucular.sourceforge.net/ WHAT IS IT? Nucular is a system for creating full text indices for fielded data. It can be accessed via a Python API or via a suite of command line interfaces. Nucular archives fielded documents and retrieves them based on field value, field prefix, field word prefix, or full text word prefix, word proximity or combinations of these. Nucular also includes features for determining values related to a query often called query facets. FEATURES * Nucular is very light weight. Updates and accesses do not require any server process or other system support such as shared memory locking. * Nucular supports concurrency. Arbitrary concurrent updates and accesses by multiple processes or threads are supported, with no possible locking issues. * Nucular indexes and retrieves data quickly. * Nucular has a funny name. NOTES The file storage format for this release is not compatible with older formats (the change was needed to fix a bug). On Windows XP I had to delete the old package manually from the Python library before the install for the new package would work properly. I hope you like it. -- Aaron Watters === Fear has several advantages over gratitude. Gratitude is intrinsically limited, if only by the finite creative capacity of the scientific community. Moreover, as pointed out by a colleague at MIT, appealing to people’s gratitude and trust is usually less effective than pulling a gun. -- Richard Lindzen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
