[Solr Wiki] Update of "SolPython" by YonikSeeley

[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Solr Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by YonikSeeley:

New page:
== Using Solr's Python output ==
Solr has an optional Python response format that extends it's JSON output in the following ways:
 * true and false changed to True and False
 * Python unicode strings used where needed
 * ASCII output (with unicode escapes) for less error-prone interoperability
 * newlines escaped
 * null changed to None

Here is a simple example of how one may query Solr using the Python response format:

{{{
from urllib2 import *
conn = urlopen('http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=iPod&wt=python')
rsp = eval( conn.read() )

print "number of matches=", rsp['response']['numFound']

#print out the name field for each returned document
for doc in rsp['response']['docs']:
  print 'name field =', doc['name']
}}}
