==========
|
|
|
|
Python bindings for Tantivy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
The bindings can be installed using from pypi using pip:
|
|
|
|
pip install tantivy
|
|
|
|
If no binary wheel is present for your operating system the bindings will be
|
|
build from source, this means that Rust needs to be installed before building
|
|
can succeed.
|
|
|
|
Note that the bindings are using [PyO3](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3), which
|
|
only supports python3.
|
|
|
|
# Development
|
|
|
|
Setting up a development enviroment can be done in a virtual environment using
|
|
`pipenv` or using local packages using the provided `Makefile`.
|
|
|
|
For the `pipenv` setup install the virtual environment and build the bindings using:
|
|
|
|
pipenv install --dev
|
|
pipenv run maturin develop
|
|
|
|
After the bindings are build, the tests can be run using:
|
|
|
|
pipenv run python -m pytest
|
|
|
|
For the `Makefile` based setup run:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Running the tests is done using:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
The Python bindings have a similar API to Tantivy. To create a index first a schema
|
|
needs to be built. After that documents can be added to the index and a reader
|
|
can be created to search the index.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import tantivy
|
|
|
|
# Declaring our schema.
|
|
schema_builder = tantivy.SchemaBuilder()
|
|
schema_builder.add_text_field("title", stored=True)
|
|
schema_builder.add_text_field("body", stored=True)
|
|
schema = schema_builder.build()
|
|
|
|
# Creating our index (in memory, but filesystem is available too)
|
|
index = tantivy.Index(schema)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Adding one document.
|
|
writer = index.writer()
|
|
writer.add_document(tantivy.Document(
|
|
title=["The Old Man and the Sea"],
|
|
body=["""He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish."""],
|
|
))
|
|
# ... and committing
|
|
writer.commit()
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Reload the index to ensure it points to the last commit.
|
|
index.reload()
|
|
searcher = index.searcher()
|
|
query = index.parse_query("fish days", ["title", "body"])
|
|
|
|
(best_score, best_doc_address) = searcher.search(query, 3).hits[0]
|
|
best_doc = searcher.doc(best_doc_address)
|
|
assert best_doc["title"] == ["The Old Man and the Sea"]
|
|
print(best_doc)
|
|
```
