Xapian-haystack - A Xapian backend for Django Haystack

Xapian is amazing - it's incredibly fast, and I much prefer it to Lucene and friends. I'm using Xapain with Django right now, but the framework I built to smush them together is hardly elegant.

Can't wait to try this out.

Thanks for the encouragement. This is my first open source project, and I mainly wrote it because I was disappointed with Djapian's Xapian interface and was quite impressed with Haystack.

Originally, I was planning on using Whoosh for the backend, but quickly ran into issues with locked files when deploying to a live server.

Anyways, I'd love to hear any comments and feedback you may have after you've given the code a try.

I was using haystack with whoosh and running into the same problem. I was waiting for some updates on that, but I think I'll check this out first. Thanks for sharing the code.
