I am testing out Whoosh on a project by following their quickstart guide:
http://whoosh.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html
The only difference is, my project is running off of Google App Engine, so instead of:
ix = create_in("indexdir", schema)
I have:
from whoosh.filedb.gae import DatastoreStorage
ix = DatastoreStorage().create_index(schema)
And I get:
EmptyIndexError - Index 'MAIN' does not exist in <whoosh.filedb.gae.DatastoreStorage object at 0x0667F130>
