python: represent message tags as unicode instances

2011-07-11T13:02:12Z

Rather than returning simply strings and having to guess their encoding, return explicit unicode() strings for the tags. Xapian stores UTF8, so we know that they come as UTF8 encoded string. Note: I tried to directly use the c_wchar_p type of the ctypes library which translates directly into an unicode type, but that did not work out so well, so we take c_char_p and .decode() them manually.

python: Encode query string as a utf-8 byte array

2011-07-11T09:46:54Z

If we pass in an unicode instance as query string, we would probably get weird behavior (and indeed do so, see mail id:"20110707113700.GA16347@megatron"). If a unicode instance is passed in, make sure we encode it properly to an utf-8 encoded byte string. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Fix Database().needs_upgrade()

2011-07-08T20:47:06Z

A stupid typo was preventing this from ever working and it was not detected until now. Patrick noted the typo and proposed the fix in mail id:"20110704203926.GA20238@brick.lan". Patch-by: Patrick Totzke Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Do not implicitely call maildir_flags_to_tags etc

2011-06-24T06:44:06Z

In order to remain consistent with the underlying C API, we do not automatically synchronize notmuch tags and maildir flags anymore. The underlying functions Message.maildir_flags_to_tags and Message.tags_to_maildir_flags still exist and are available to the user. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

Do not import notmuch in setup.py.

2011-06-20T07:45:43Z

Importing notmuch loads the notmuch shared library. When building without a system install of notmuch, this requires e.g. setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for building and fails completely for cleaning.

Simplify (& fix) Message().str()

2011-06-16T15:33:47Z

We were still using len(self.get_replies()) for the __str__ summary of a mail, but 1) len(Messages()) has just gone away 2) the number of replies can not be retrieved when we got the message via search_messages() anyway, and 3) it is likely quite expensive to pull all replies for all messages that we display a summary of. So we fix this by simplifying str(Message()) to omit the number of replies. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Bulletproof Database() path parameter

2011-06-16T13:51:13Z

libnotmuch (and python) crashed when I accidently passed in an invalid value as path argument to the Database() instantiation. Therefore, we now check via assert that the handed in path is actually a real string (or None). Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Improve API documentation

2011-06-16T13:41:48Z

Various API doc cleanups and improvements. No code change. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

Implement Message.tags_to_maildir_flags

2011-06-16T12:41:02Z

and also maildir_flags_to_tags. The methods will be invoked by db.add_message() and also (if not overridden via function parameter) by add|remove_tag and remove_all_tags. Documentation on the usage has been updated. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

python: Improve documentation

2011-06-15T19:36:26Z

Improve the documentation with regard to the new __cmp__ and __hash__ methods and the implications of doing set arithmetic with Messages() objects. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth
