Why Lupyne?

[seperman]

Hello,

While looking around for how to run PyLucene, I stumbled around your docker image for PyLucene and eventually here. I'm curious why you have written Lupyne? Is it to provide a more Pythonic interface to Lucene? Why should one use Lupyne over PyLucene? The lack of documentation on PyLucene makes me feel like only a handful of people are actually using PyLucene...

Thanks,
Sep

Is it to provide a more Pythonic interface to Lucene?

Yes, that's the primary motivation. The examples contrast the lucene api with lupyne.

I'm not sure about PyLucene's usage either, especially since it's not pip installable, so no pypi download stats.
