If you're going to do the heavy lifting in Python, maybe. It depends
on what you're going to search, and the performance requirements for a
search.
On the other hand, if you use a Python wrapper around a full-text
search facility, so that python finds documents, takes queries and
formats results for the user, it should be just fine.

"Some" is correct. As for writing a search engine in Python _only_,
hmmm -- I honestly don't know. You could surely develop a working
implementation, but then, to make it perform well, you'd most likely
want to profile it and retune some CPU-intensive parts using pyrex, or
C.
So, if during your program development process you can find good
open-source C or C++ libraries offering a fast implementation of some of
the CPU-bound stuff you know you'll need, you would probably be better
off by wrapping those libraries (again using pyrex, or maybe SWIG, or
Boost Python for C++, ...) rather than redoing them from scratch in
Python (and probably later having to do some tuning on those parts).
One notably strong point of Python is that it "plays well with others",
and I would advise you to leverage this fact.

Hello All,
I am trying to convince my client to use Python in his new product. He
is worried about the license issues. Can somebody there to point me any
good commercial applications developed using python ?. The licence
clearly says Python can be used for commercial applications. Is there
any other implications like that of GPL to make the source open ?
Thanks for any help.

My manager wants me to develop a search program, that would work like they
have it at edorado.com.
She made up her requirements after having compared how search works at
different websites, like eBay, Yahoo and others.
This is what she wants my program to be able to do:

At eBay:
- enter the word 'television' in a search field à you will get 2155 items.

Hi, I'm interested in using python to start writing a CAD program for

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
