Django-haystack is a modular indexing/search extension to django. It features unified API which allows user to change search backend easily without modifying the code. AFAICS currently django-haystack can use either Solr or Whoosh (but only <0.2) as a search backend.
Created attachment 201125 [details] Simple live ebuild. Simple ebuild for live version of django-haystack. Although haystack itself supports pluggable backends, it comes with Solr & Whoosh ones. As we don't have either of these engines and Whoosh is pure python, I've opened a request for it and added it here as non-conditional RDEPEND.
