[Python-Dev] Using LXR for Python CVS Source Code ?

[David Ascher]

Not wishing to make a science project out of it, but you might consider
the newer lxr, which uses a real database (mysql, IIRC).

We've used lxr in-house for a while, it's an absolutely wonderful tool. 
It is quite hard to setup multiple lxr's on a single machine (at least
with the 'old' lxr), be forewarned.

Also, lxr doesn't really deal especially well with Python code - but for
C/C++ code, it rocks.
