I want to use Django Haystack with Xapian on my django site for search function. After setting all the necessary settings. I went ahead to input: manage.py rebuild_index , after inputting 'y' I'm getting an error saying:

No module named xapian_backend.

I can see the xapian backend module in site-packages, but I don't know why Django is not seeing it. How Can I make it work?

Below is my settings:

import os
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.xapian_backend.XapianEngine',
        'PATH': 'C:/Python27/Scripts/myweb/xapian_index',
        'INCLUDE_SPELLING': True,
        'BATCH_SIZE': 100,
                As well as the xapian_haystack backend, do you have all its Xapian dependencies (the Xapian library, and the Xapian python bindings) installed? If you can run python -c 'import xapian' then these requirements are satisfied.

It is not included in the haystack package, but is separate.  It probably still won't work.  It doesn't seem to have been upgraded to work with haystack 2.x.
Update: it has now been updated.
