If there's software which is actually using the bindings with Python
3, I'm happy to try to add a package (even happier to apply patches
to do so...)
Sphinx >= 1.1 (which I plan to upload to experimental soon) supports
Python 3 and can use Xapian as search engine for so called "web
support":
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/web/quickstart.html#websupportquickstart
Can it do both at once though - i.e. use Xapian while running under
Python 3?
In theory, yes. I doubt that anybody tested this in practice (which
might mean it doesn't work at all).
In fact, my main motivation for python3-xapian in Debian is to be able to
run full Sphinx test suite with Python 3.
Given the current rough edges to Xapian's Python3 support, I doubt
Sphinx will work with it unless they've added a lot of Unicode
conversions to their Xapian support code.
OK. Even if it's completely broken for the moment, the goal it to make
it work with Python 3, too.
I wanted to give it a try by compiling the bindings manually, but I got
only this:
