...xapian-tcpsrv --port 9100 --interface 127.0.0.1 --writable ./xapiandb/ and in script.py: import xapian as xa db = xa.remote_open_writable('localhost', 9100) # other stuff # ... script is a long running program, and when i try to run another instance, i get : xapian.DatabaseLockError: REMOTE:Unable to get write lock on /home/hinoglu/xapiandb/ : already locked Please correct me if i'm wrong, writelock is the xapian-tcpsrv's lock, not the clients'. So why am i getting databaselock error? Isn't xapian-tcpsrv capable of handling multiple clients? Thanks Ozgu...
