In case, search_threads returns an error we are supposed to throw an
Exception. But we did not "raise" it, this was an oversight and this
commit fixes it.
There is still the problem that there is often output to stderr by
libnotmuch detailing the xapian error and this is simply printed
out. But this requires fixing at the libnotmuch level...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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).

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

Improve the documentation with regard to the new __cmp__ and __hash__
methods and the implications of doing set arithmetic with Messages()
objects.

We can now do: if msg1 == msg2, and we can use set arithmetic on
Messages():
s1, s2= msgs1, msgs2
s1.union(s2)
s2 -= s1

Messages.__len__() exhausted the iterator and list() inherently calls
len(), so we could not invoke list(msgs) without getting errors. Fix
this by implementing __nonzero__ but removing __len__ on Messages.
Use Query.count_messages() or len(list(msgs)) if you need to know the
number.

Analog to Threads.__nonzero__ this allows us to perform list() on a Threads() object and to repeatedly call "if Tags():" or "bool(Tags())" without implicitly invoking len(), thus exhausting our iterator.
While touching this code, I added a small micro-optimization to the Tag next() function. There is no need to explicitly check _is_valid, as _get implicitly does check for validness and returns None, if there is no more Tag to fetch. This avoids some roundtrips into the library when iterating through Tags.

__nonzero__ checks if Threads() contains at least one more valid thread
The existence of this function makes 'if Threads(): foo' work, as that
previously implicitely called len() exhausting the iterator. This
function makes `bool(Threads())` work repeatedly.

Message().get_filenames() will return a generator that allows to
iterator over the recorded filenames for a certain Message. Do ntoe that
as all generators, these are one-time use only. You will have to reget
them to perform various actions. So this works::
len(Message().get_filenames())
list(Message().get_filenames())
for n in Message().get_filenames():
print n
But this won't::
names = Message().get_filenames()
len(names) #uses up the iterator
list(names) #outch, already used up...

The old instructions were telling users to do "easy_install cnotmuch"
which installed some old, stale bindings. The new instructions should
be much more effective.
Convert the meta information to point to the notmuchmail.org repository, rather
than the old cnotmuch location. I will delete the "cnotmuch" package
from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cnotmuch and create a new "notmuch"
package there that contains the current versions.
Also bump the version number to 0.4. I will need to upgrade the API
first before I can release the 0.5 of the bindings, there are still some
methods missing.

Database.find_message() used to be able to reliably indicate whether a
message exists or not (in which case it returns None). However, the
recent API change of the notmuch library means we will return None
even for all Xapian exceptions, which happens e.g. when the current
Database has been modified by another project. Therefore the return
value of None cannot be reliably be used to indicate whether a message
exists or not. Make the docs state that explicitely.
