Technically, this is a superfluous change, as the self.status variable
currently gets set in NotmuchErrors's __new__ function. However, in the
long run I would like to get rid of the weird __new__ implementation which
might be somewhat confusing for users (NotmuchError(status) returns a
different class, e.g. OutOfMemoryError)

Remove code duplication by using the new helper function. Also raise the
new fine grained exceptions in many cases, rather than the more generic
NotmuchErrors.

Catch up with the major version bump. I wonder if this could somehow be
automatically made the correct version number. Oh well, I hope it
doesn't change too often :-).

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.

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.

The line 'notmuch' in the toplevel .gitignore file is to broad
and matches bindings/python/notmuch making it cumbersome to
git-add files within that directory.
Refine the toplevel file to only match the generated notmuch
executable and add a more specialized .gitignore file to the
python directory.

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.

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...

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.
