Sunburnt

Sunburnt is a Python-based interface for working with the Apache Solr <http://lucene.apache.org/solr/>_ search engine.

It was written by Toby White [email protected] for use in the Timetric platform <http://timetric.com>_.

Please send queries/comments/suggestions to the mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/python-sunburnt>_.

Bugs can be filed on the issue tracker <https://github.com/tow/sunburnt/issues>_.

It's tested with Solr 1.4.1 and 3.1; previous versions were known to work with 1.3 and 1.4 as well.

Dependencies

• Requirements:

  • httplib2 <http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/>_ or requests <http://requests.readthedocs.org/>_
  • lxml <http://lxml.de>_

• Strongly recommended:

  • mx.DateTime <http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/mxDateTime/>_

    Sunburnt will happily deal with dates stored either as Python datetime objects, or as mx.DateTime objects. The latter are preferable, having better semantics and a wider representation range. They will be used if present, otherwise sunburnt will fall back to Python datetime objects.

  • pytz <http://pytz.sourceforge.net>_

    If you're using native Python datetime objects with Solr (rather than mx.DateTime objects) you should also have pytz installed to guarantee correct timezone handling.

• Optional (only to run the tests)

  • nose <http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/>_
