PyLucene is a Python extension for accessing Java Lucene from Python. Its goal is to allow use of Lucene's text indexing and searching capabilities from Python. It is designed to be API compatible with the latest version of Java Lucene.

All calls made to Java from Python now yield the Python Global Interpreter Lock, resolving some corner case deadlock situations and helping the Python process to avoid the appearance of hanging during long Java API calls. The few Lucene APIs that were overloaded with an optional 'yield' argument are removed as they are no longer necessary. Error reporting is improved, and Java exceptions are now reported as Python JavaError exceptions.
