Updated Python clients list

+ = Python Solr clients =
+ This is a part of the [[IntegratingSolr|Solr Clients list]]. As with the main list, the latest source update is listed - where possibly - as a proxy for level of relevance. 
+ 
  <<TableOfContents>>
  
- == Python API ==
- There is a simple client API as part of the Solr repository: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/tags/release-1.2.0/client/python/
  
- Note: As of version 1.3, Solr no longer comes bundled with a Python client.  The existing client was not sufficiently maintained or tested as development of Solr progressed, and committers felt that the code was not up to our usual high standards of release.
+ == solrcloudpy ==
+ [[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/solrcloudpy/|solrcloudpy]] is a library designed specifically for interacting with SolrCloud. It also comes with an interactive console.

  == Using Solr's Python output ==
  Solr has an optional Python response format that extends its [[SolJSON|JSON output]] in the following ways to allow the response to be safely eval'd by Python's interpreter:
+ 
   * true and false changed to True and False
   * Python unicode strings used where needed
   * ASCII output (with unicode escapes) for less error-prone interoperability

  == Using normal JSON ==

  Using {{{eval}}} is generally considered bad form and dangerous in Python.  In theory if you trust the remote server it is okay, but if something goes wrong it means someone can run arbitrary code on your server (attacking eval is very easy).
