[Xapian-discuss] Python interface problems

[Wojtek Sobczuk]

Hello,

I'm trying to use xapwrap to index some documents in Xapian, but I get 
the following error.  Any ideas how to fix/circumvent this?  I find 
Xapian the best solution for my problem (indexing 20 million forum 
posts, messages, etc.).

Also, how 'fast' is Xapian?  I want to use it on a heavily loaded site, 
and I would probably generate 10-20 queries per second (but the queries 
would be limited to 1-8 words from a subset of 100-1000 words).  Would 
that work fine on a dual xeon with SCSI RAID 1 drives?

Here's the traceback:
