cnotmuch -- The python interface to notmuch.so ============================================== This module makes the functionality of the notmuch library (`http://notmuchmail.org`_) available to python. Successful import of this modul depends on a libnotmuch.so|dll being available on the user's system. If you have downloaded the full source tarball (available from bitbucket.org, the source distribution and binary distribution come without the documentation), you can create the documentation with sphinx installed, go to the docs directory and "make html". A static version of the documentation is available at: `http://spaetz.bitbucket.org`_ The current source code is being hosted at http://bitbucket.org/spaetz/cnotmuch which also provides an issue tracker, and release downloads. This package is tracked by the python package index repository at `http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cnotmuch`_ and can thus be installed on a user's computer easily via "sudo easy_install cnotmuch" (you will still need to install the notmuch shared library separately as it is not included in this package). The original source has been provided by (c)Sebastian Spaeth, 2010. All code is available under the GNU GPLv3+ (see docs/COPYING) unless specified otherwise. INSTALLATION & DEINSTALL ------------------------ cnotmuch is available on pypi.python.org. This means you can do "easy_install cnotmuch" on your linux box and it will get installed into: /usr/local/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/ For uninstalling, you'll need to remove the "cnotmuch-0.1-py2.x.egg" directory and delete one entry in the "easy-install.pth" file in that directory. It needs to have a libnotmuch.so or libnotmuch.so.1 available in some library folder or will raise an exception when loading. "OSError: libnotmuch.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Usage ----- For more examples of how to use the cnotmuch interface, have a look at the notmuch "binary" and the generated documentation. Example session: >>>from cnotmuch import notmuch >>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail") db.get_path() '/home/spaetz/mail' >>>tags = db.get_all_tags() >>>for tag in tags: >>> print tag inbox ... maildir::draft #--------------------------------------------- q = notmuch.Query(db,'from:Sebastian') count = len(q.search_messages()) 1300 #--------------------------------------------- >>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mailHAHA") NotmuchError: Could not open the specified database #--------------------------------------------- >>>tags = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail").get_all_tags() >>>del(tags)
