Solr and Python
As I was responding on this list to Yonik yesterday about how PyLucene
couldn't really make use of the HTTP side of the Lucene/Solr project (in the
"[VOTE] Lucene/Solr release 3.2 (take 2)" thread) I thought to myself
"someone, somewhere is going to do this, though".
Enter the montysolr project that embeds a CPython VM into Solr/Java VM !
https://github.com/romanchyla/montysolr
This very much looks like something that could have been called PySolr,
PyLucene's pendant for Solr. Maybe these two projects should get merged as
well, especially since they use similar underlying techniques with JCC, but
in reverse: embedding a Python VM in Java VM [1]
https://github.com/romanchyla/montysolr/blob/master/docs/technical-details.txt
Andi..
[1] This is a technique I had developed internally at Metaweb for
freebase.com search (Lucene Core + Tomcat, no Solr) but thought was too
crazy to put out in public. Not so apparently :-)

Woops, I didn't realize JCC was fine with this, and that montysolr is
in fact using JCC -- nice!

+1 to somehow merge these two efforts, so we can have a PySolr too.

Why the conditional ?
This has been built into JCC for over two years now and used in production for freebase.com search just as long.
What's neat, is that Roman is making use of that technique for Solr now and is "showing the way" on how to merge Lucene and Solr for Python users as well, something I didn't think made sense until a few days ago. It's obvious, when you think of it. It just didn't occur to me.

This looks very cool!
A bidirectional JCC (embed Java VM in Python VM or vice versa) would be wild :)
