pylucene with python 3

Question

I have a virtual environment with python 3.4.3. I want to install pylucene for this environment.

How can I do that? Or can I somehow still run pylucene if I use the python from my virtual environment?

I couldn't find any info on python 3 support on http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html and if I follow the instructions, I'm getting syntax error on the phase of JCC installation as the code is expected to be run with python 2.x.

Answer 1

Updated answer: PyLucene 6.5.0 is now officially ported to python3. http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/

I have ported jcc and pylucene to python3

First install jcc from here: https://github.com/rudimeier/jcc

Then pylucene from here: https://github.com/rudimeier/pylucene

The pylucene repository contains 3 ported versions (3.x, 4.x and 6.x) in different branches.

Answer 2

PyLucene doesn't currently support Python 3; it's unclear if it will.
