Python 2.6 + JCC + Pylucene issue

Question

Greetings,

I'm trying to use pylucene in Python 2.6. Since there's no windows build for 2.6, I try to build the source code.

First of all, I build JCC (windows, using cygwin)

python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
[...]
building 'jcc' extension
error: None

python setup.py install
running install
[...]
copying jcc\config.py -> build\lib.win32-2.6\jcc
copying jcc\classes\org\osafoundation\jcc\PythonException.class -> build\lib.win32-2.6\jcc\classes\org\osafoundation\jcc
running build_ext
building 'jcc' extension
error: None

Notice that it won't copy anything on my "F:\Python26\Lib\site-packages" directory. I don't know why. So that, I don't know if it's really installed or not.

Now, I'll make pylucene

make
/cygdrive/f/Python26//python.exe -m jcc --shared --jar lucene-java-2.4.0/build/lucene-core-2.4.0.jar 
[...]
'doc:(I)Lorg/apache/lucene/document/Document;' --version 2.4.0 --files 2 --build

f:\Python26\python.exe: No module named jcc
make: *** [compile] Error 1

So, it seems JCC wasn't installed at all.

Then, I try to copy the "jcc build" under F:\Python26\Lib\site-packages, and I try to make pylucene again:

make
[...]
f:\Python26\python.exe: jcc is a package and cannot be directly executed
make: *** [compile] Error 1

Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?

Answer 1

try:

/cygdrive/f/Python26//python.exe setup.py build

and

/cygdrive/f/Python26//python.exe setup.py build setup.py install

I believe you are using python from cygwin for instaling jcc and python from windows for running...

Few checkpoints

• error: None mean there is an error on building, it was NOT success, so the extensions does not get build

• if you are using cygwin, I guess you need to use cygwin version of python, but according to this you using windows version, which is installed in F:\Python - /cygdrive/f/Python26//python.exe,

• I suggest you to try with mingw32, install mingw32 and try python setup.py build -c mingw32 and python setup.py install
