Sebastian Spaeth 5dc189c82d python: Have setup.py read the version number without importing
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.

long_description="""Overview
==============
The notmuch module provides an interface to the `notmuch <http://notmuchmail.org>`_ functionality, directly interfacing with a shared notmuch library. Notmuch provides a maildatabase that allows for extremely quick searching and filtering of your email according to various criteria.
The documentation for the latest cnotmuch release can be `viewed online <http://packages.python.org/notmuch>`_.
The classes notmuch.Database, notmuch.Query provide most of the core functionality, returning notmuch.Messages and notmuch.Tags.
Installation and Deinstallation
-------------------------------
notmuch is included in the upstream notmuch source repository and it is
packaged on http://pypi.python.org. This means you can do "easy_install
notmuch" (or using pip) on your linux box and it will get installed
into:
/usr/local/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/
For uninstalling, you will need to remove the "notmuch-0.x-py2.x.egg"
directory and delete one entry refering to cnotmuch in the
"easy-install.pth" file in that directory. There should be no trace
left of cnotmuch then.
Requirements
------------
You need to have notmuch installed (or rather libnotmuch.so.1). Also,
notmuch makes use of the ctypes library, and has only been tested with
python >= 2.5. It will not work on earlier python versions.
