Xapian Python Bindings (Win32)

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I have built the Xapian Python Bindings on Windows. They comes packaged with an easy, standard (distutils) installer. This may help with some of the headaches associated with running Xapian on Python and Windows.

Getting the whole thing to compile was not exactly a walk in the park, so I assumed people would be glad to have an easy Binary installer handy. I plan to use this library for a few internal projects, and I want the said project to be as multi platform as possible.

So far, they are only packaged for Python 2.5 but I will try to package them for 2.4 later on today or during this week.

See the details here.

They were built on Windows Server 2003 with MSVC from Visual C++ 2005 Express.

I hope this helps.
