Can you point me to where in the getting started guide it suggests you should use the states dataset with index1.py? Because they aren’t compatible. (In theory we could make the different data sets compatible with index1.py, but we can’t for instance make the museum catalogue data compatible with index_ranges2.py (which uses the year of admission to the union and population to provide sortable values).

You can see the states dataset in action (with index_ranges2.py) at in the howto on range queries, where it discussed handling dates (https://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.org/en/latest/howtos/range_queries.html#handling-dates).
