Hi all,

Those of you with long enough backlog on the list to remember my rant 
(id:20110626202733.GA26837@brick)
can guess my opion on this matter but just to be sure..

I am not much of an expert on libnotmuch internals but am using the python 
bindings extensively.
It feels super-strange using a python module that possibly writes to stderr or 
any other descriptor
without me explicitly telling it to.
Also, if the library segfauls or calls exit, it essentially rips out the python 
interpreter underneath my code
without me being able to do any proper error handling.

I know that error handling on a library level is hard, juggling around with 
bare C, talloc and Xapian.
But i can only strongly encourage any rewrite that ends in the python bindings 
behaving more pythonic!

Cheers,
/p
