I had the same problem just now. Did you try »update_index« instead of »rebuild_index«? That seemed to work for me …

Installing Whoosh 0.3.18 solved the problem on my side

If you found this question while attempting to delete an entry from an index, you might need to use an IndexWriter to delete the entry, rather than a FileIndex object; e.g.:

Instead of:

ix = open_dir('index')
ix.delete_by_term('path', u'/a/b/c')
ix.commit()

which throws the error discussed above, you can delete a file by running:

ix = open_dir('index')
writer = ix.writer()
writer.delete_by_term('path', u'/a/b/c')
writer.commit()
