notmuch -- The python interface to notmuch.so
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
This module makes the functionality of the notmuch library
|
|
(`http://notmuchmail.org`_) available to python. Successful import of
|
|
this modul depends on a libnotmuch.so|dll being available on the
|
|
user's system.
|
|
|
|
If you have downloaded the full source tarball, you can create the
|
|
documentation with sphinx installed, go to the docs directory and
|
|
"make html". A static version of the documentation is available at:
|
|
|
|
http://packages.python.org/cnotmuch/
|
|
|
|
The current source code is being hosted at
|
|
http://bitbucket.org/spaetz/cnotmuch which also provides an issue
|
|
tracker, and release downloads. This package is tracked by the python
|
|
package index repository at `http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cnotmuch`_ and can thus be installed on a user's computer easily via "sudo easy_install cnotmuch" (you will still need to install the notmuch shared library separately as it is not included in this package).
|
|
|
|
The original source has been provided by (c)Sebastian Spaeth, 2010.
|
|
All code is available under the GNU GPLv3+ (see docs/COPYING) unless specified otherwise.

|
INSTALLATION & DEINSTALL
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
cnotmuch is available on pypi.python.org. This means you can do
|
|
"easy_install cnotmuch" on your linux box and it will get installed
|
|
into:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/
|
|
|
|
For uninstalling, you'll need to remove the "cnotmuch-0.1-py2.x.egg"
|
|
directory and delete one entry in the "easy-install.pth" file in that
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
It needs to have a libnotmuch.so or libnotmuch.so.1 available in some
|
|
library folder or will raise an exception when loading.
|
|
"OSError: libnotmuch.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
For more examples of how to use the cnotmuch interface, have a look at the
|
|
notmuch "binary" and the generated documentation.

Example session:
|
|
>>>import notmuch
|
|
>>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail")
|
|
db.get_path()
|
|
'/home/spaetz/mail'
|
|
>>>tags = db.get_all_tags()
|
|
>>>for tag in tags:
|
|
>>> print tag
|
|
inbox
|
|
...
|
|
maildir::draft
|
|
#---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
q = notmuch.Query(db,'from:Sebastian')
|
|
count = len(q.search_messages())
|
|
1300
|
|
|
|
#---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
>>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mailHAHA")
|
|
NotmuchError: Could not open the specified database
|
|
|
|
#---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
>>>tags = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail").get_all_tags()
|
|
>>>del(tags)
