[Xapian-discuss] Python bindings - xapian.Database.reopen

[Cedric Jeanneret]

Hello,

I'm using xapian in a pylons application, with pythons libs/bindings...

My indexes are created on other servers, then rsync-ed to my search engine... It seems that sometimes this process do some mess, as my Pylons app returns a big error :

Error - xapian.DatabaseModifiedError: The revision being read has been discarded - you should call Xapian::Database::reopen() and retry the operation
[snip useless trace]
DatabaseModifiedError: The revision being read has been discarded - you should call Xapian::Database::reopen() and retry the operation

Ok... so I'm trying to call xapian.Database.reopen().... but how ??

Trying to do so:
try:
  d = xapian.Database('my/db')
except xapian.DatabaseModifiedError:
  d = xapian.Database()
  d.reopen('my/db')

doesn't work... Tryied "d = xapian.Database('my/db').reopen()" fails as well.

So... how can we call this function ? I'm unable to find out example nor doc about it.

Thanks in advance,

C.
