There are various locations where exceptions are constructed but
not raised. This patch adds the necessary raise statements.

Raising Exception is considered bad since the only way to catch
it is to do 'except Exception'. Raising a TypeError is more
appropriate.
Since the format parameter has already been validated, checking
it again is not necessary. Simplify this conditional.

If we use unicode objects, libnotmuch would not cope with null bytes in
the byte array, so we need to make sure they are nicely formatted as
utf-8.
Introduce a helper function _str which does this throughout the code.

we now have three files to keep in sync. That seems wrong, but I guess
we will live with it for now.
The main problem is that the python code is distributed separately, so
it can't get the version from 'version'.
The choice ~rcX is for convenience with debian versioning.
Decode and Encode from/to unicode objects as required to be able to take
unicode path names. Previously we would error out when an unicode object
were handed it.

Importing the notmuch module in setup.py is a no-no, and we want
to auto-generate the version number in the release process.
Outsource __VERSION__ to the new version.py which contains nothing else
and which can therefor easily be autogenerated. Have setup.py read in
the file via execfile and test if importing the version number actually
worked.
This should make all happy.

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.
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>
We were using a template setup.py which parsed __init__.py in complex
ways just to find out the version number. Simply import notmuch and use
__VERSION__ directly. Also adapt some wording and setup.py values while
going through.

len() exhausts the tag iterator and e.g. list() or "".join(tags)
implicitly call len() if existing and then failing. So, we remove
Tags.__len__().
If you need to know the number of tags a message has, do use
len(list(tags)). It would be nicer to be able to support len() directly...
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth <Sebastian@SSpaeth.de>
If we try to pull a non-existing tag, Tags._get will return None and the
appended .decode() command will fail. So make sure that there is a tag to
be fetched before fetching it.

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.

In order to remain consistent with the underlying C API, we do not

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.

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.

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...
