Is there any reason not to do that, either in general or in this specific case? >* python-xapian - "Python 3 support is under development, but not yet > fully functional - see ticket#346 for details: > http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/346"; - so this one could be a problem. Yes, it definitely will. Several of us have taken runs at porting this to Python 3. So far, everyone's been defeated. Upstream doesn't seem very interested in it either. If the Xapian database doesn't have to interoperate with any other tools, maybe Whoosh would be a good replacement? Upstream supports Python 3, but it's not yet packaged. Cheers, -Barry
