Hi Flavius :) welcome to notmuch :)
Quoting Flavius Aspra (2013-04-18 10:11:37) > Can you give me some pointers on how to use the python module to get the JSON > data with notmuch effort, equivalent to the command: ^^^^^^^ hehe :) Ok, here it is: teythoon at thinkbox ~/tmp % cat flavius.py import notmuch db = notmuch.Database() q = db.create_query('from:Flavius') for m in q.search_messages(): print(m) for t in q.search_threads(): for m in t.get_toplevel_messages(): print(m) teythoon at thinkbox ~/tmp % python3 flavius.py Flavius Aspra <flavius.as at gmail.com> (inbox lists notmuch signed) (2013-04-18) Flavius Aspra <flavius.as at gmail.com> (inbox lists notmuch signed) (2013-04-18) There once was a json encoder that produced something similar to notmuch show --format=json, but that was there only to be used by a python version of the notmuch cli binary. That was unmaintained and apparently unused, I removed it and the json encoder some time ago. If you absolutely need json, put the result in some suitable data structure and use pythons json module to encode it. > Some key classes and methods would be helpful.

Also, if you want to see some code that uses the python bindings, go to github.com/pazz/alot (nice MUA written in python, but it's huge) or github.com/teythoon/afew (tagging solution, tiny codebase compared to alot). Good luck :) Justus btw: cool name ;)
