I am assuming that the code you provided goes into a manage_addCustomIndex method that is part of a CustomIndex Python Product.
hehehehe, nothing so general-purpose as that ;-)
You will need to implement a subclass derived from one of the standard indexes to provide your custom indexing policy, whatever that is.
Can you provide the code for your custom KeywordIndex, so I have a starting point? I realize yours subclasses a KeywordIndex, and I probably need to subclass a TextIndex, but it would still probably help. I can integrate and hack on other peoples code better than I can write my own from scratch.
from SearchIndex.UnKeywordIndex import UnKeywordIndex, MV, intSet from types import ListType, TupleType class UnTrackingIndex(UnKeywordIndex): meta_type = 'Tracking Properties Index' """Like a Keyword Index, only it indexes tracking properties """ def __init__(self,question): id = 'tracking_'+unicode(question).encode('unicode-escape') self.question = question UnKeywordIndex.__init__(self,id) def index_object(self, i, obj, threshold=None): """ index an object 'obj' with integer id 'i'""" index = self._index unindex = self._unindex try: kws = obj.tracking_answers(self.question) if type(kws) not in [type([]),type(())]: raise ValueError('Indexing a tracking property set of inappropriate type %r' % type(kws)) except: kws = (MV,) # index each item in the sequence for kw in kws: set = index.get(kw) if set is None: index[kw] = set = intSet() set.insert(i) unindex[i] = tuple(kws) self._index = index self._unindex = unindex return 1
