Sunburnt is a Python-based interface for working with the Apache Solr search engine.

It was written by Toby White <[email protected]> for use in the Timetric platform.

Please send queries/comments/suggestions to the mailing list.

Bugs can be filed on the issue tracker.

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.

• Requirements:

  • httplib2
  • lxml or ElementTree (in standard library since Python 2.5)

• Strongly recommended:

  • mx.DateTime

    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 or gaepytz

    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
