Should I use Jython with Lucene or PyLucene?

Question

I am working on a project where I need to search for information with Lucene. I am code in Python and not familiar with Java. There will be 4000 documents in the data set.

Looking at this, it seems I can use Jython with Lucene or Pylucene. The project should be submitted in 1 month. I have not configured Jython yet.

Would you recommend using Jython or Pylucene? What is the learning curve for Jython with Lucene vs PyLucene? How difficult is it to create Jython with Lucene vs. PyLucene?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you like Python, then PyLucene should be simpler, since you will write idiomatic Python code (as opposed to calling the Java library from Jython).
