## **Use notmuch from python**
-Notmuch includes python bindings to the notmuch shared library. Please
-refer to the nice and extensive
-[notmuch python API documentation](http://notmuch.readthedocs.org/).
-
-The bindings are very simple to use. As an example, given you have
-the python bindings installed (or simply set your PYTHONPATH
-environment variable to point to the .../bindings/python directory),
-this snippet will produce a list of mails matching the given
-expression:
-
- >>> import notmuch
- >>> db = notmuch.Database()
- >>> query = db.create_query('tag:inbox AND NOT tag:killed')
- >>> list(query.search_messages()) # doctest:+ELLIPSIS

+If you don't mind replacing your encrypted emails with cleartext versions and

+comfortable with the security implications (and until notmuch can index
