Creole Parser

I'm using a Python package called CreoleParser extensively on the Flex After Dark website. The package helps with parsing Creole, a wiki markup syntax. It is a truly excellent package in terms of functionality and organization.

Whoosh

Whoosh is a fast, featureful full-text indexing and searching library implemented in pure Python. I'm currently taking advantage of this awesome package to add search support to Flex After Dark.

The package is especially nice for a couple of reasons:

• It's pure Python, so it's easy to setup and use
• It's similar to Lucene, which I've used before
• It works, and works well, exactly as you'd expect it to (no surprises so far)
