Django-Haystack/Whoosh - Rebuild Index Error

Python 2.5, Django 1.2.1, most recent haystack, most recent whoosh

This is my first delve into Django-Haystack. I was following the "Getting Started" guide from Haystack and everything seemed to be going along fine, until I went to build the index.

So, running "manage.py rebuild_index" shot this back at me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/steenb/Documents/Aptana Studio Workspace/bucksac/buckshr/manage.py", line 11, in <module>
    execute_manager(settings)
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 438, in execute_manager
    utility.execute()
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 379, in execute

  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 218, in execute
    output = self.handle(*args, **options)

    return klass.execute(*args, **defaults)

    output = self.handle(*args, **options)

    sb.clear()
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/haystack/backends/whoosh_backend.py", line 212, in clear
    self.index.commit()
AttributeError: 'FileIndex' object has no attribute 'commit'

Not sure even where to start with this... has anyone run into this before?

Any thoughts on a solution?

Update: Tried this with python 2.6 as well, got the same error. Is there some Whoosh configuration that I have not done?

Update: After using the below suggestion from philippbosch, the first error didn't show up anymore but now I am getting this:

    writer = AsyncWriter(self.index.writer, postlimit=self.post_limit)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'postlimit'

I am wondering if I am using an incompatable version of Whoosh.... I grabbed the latest which is 1.0.0b2 ... http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Whoosh/

update: Turns out it is a version problem. Currently, Haystack is tied to whoosh 0.3.18
