Before 3434d1940 the return values of libnotmuch functions were
declared as c_void_p and the code checking for errors compared the
returned value to None, which is the ctypes equivalent of a NULL
pointer.
But said commit wrapped all the data types in python classes and the
semantic changed in a subtle way. If a function returns NULL, the
wrapped python value is falsish, but no longer equal to None.
Backported from master to 0.11.

Recent changes introduced lots of unicodification of strings, mostly in
the form of .decode('utf-8', errors='ignore'). However, python 2.5 does
not like the errors keyword argument and complains. It does work when
used as a simple arg though, so that's what this patch does.

Formerly Message.get_replies() returned an iterator or None forcing
users to check the result before iterating over it leading to strange
looking code at the call site.
Fix this flaw by adding an EmptyMessagesResult class that behaves like
the Messages class but immediatly raises StopIteration if used as an
iterator and returning objects of this type from Message.get_replies()
to indicate that there are no replies.
Since 2b01161191, Message.__str__ doesn't
construct a hash containing the thread data before
constructing the formatstring. This changes the formatstring
to accept positional parameters instead of a hash.
Now that types are checked correctly, we also need to make sure that all the
arguments actually are instances of these types. Otherwise the function calls
will fail and raise an exception similar to this one:
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 3: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected
LP_LP_NotmuchMessageS instance instead of pointer to c_void_p
We were not returning anything at all, which does not match the API
documentation. Fixed. Thanks to Patrick Totzke for the heads up.

Technically, this is a superfluous change, as the self.status variable
currently gets set in NotmuchErrors's __new__ function. However, in the

Previously, the Filenames generator only yielded *one* filename before
returning, making Message.get_filenames() behave as Message.get_filename(). This
commit fixes this incorrect behavior: now the generator yields all the
filenames, as expected.
Add some smart magic, so that when we invoke a
NotmuchError(STATUSVALUE), a nicely derived subclass is created, e.g. a
OutOfMemoryError. This way users can easily distinguish between error
types, while still catching NotmuchError.
I have tested this, and hope it works for others too.

To make the exception handling more effective in code using the
python bindings it is necessary to differentiate between the
different kind of failures.
Add an exception class for each status code and add a decode
classmethod to the NotmuchError class that acts as a factory.
Import the new classes in __init__.py so they can be easily
imported by anyone.

we now have three files to keep in sync. That seems wrong, but I guess

it can't get the version from 'version'.

Importing the notmuch module in setup.py is a no-no, and we want

Outsource __VERSION__ to the new version.py which contains nothing else

This reverts commit 8826fc2d7b.
It seems that importing the module in setup.py is controversial at best,
as it will fail for users that don't have all dependencies
installed. This was the case in e.g. the Ubuntu autobuilder, so building
notmuch failed. The plan is to create an autogenerated setup.py that can
be used for version information.

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.

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.
