+Hi :)\r

+\r
+I believe the python bindings were once available on pypi, though that\r
+might have been a relict from the time the python bindings were not\r
+distributed with notmuch (I'm just guessing here, I haven't been\r
+around long enough). Iirc it was Sebastian who registered it. When I\r
+took over the python bindings I simply did not care enough to take\r
+care of the pypi entry (see below).\r

+\r
+I would not object to that, but David has a point here. If the version\r
+you get from pypi is newer than your libnotmuch, you will get errors\r
+*at runtime*.\r
+\r
+Also I just looked at http://oswatershed.org/pkg/notmuch and\r
+http://oswatershed.org/pkg/python-notmuch . It looks like every\r
+distribution that is shipping libnotmuch packages also ships the\r
+python bindings. So everyone who got libnotmuch from their\r
+distribution can also obtain the appropriate bindings. And everyone\r
+who compiled notmuch also has the bindings. I'm just not sure what's\r
+to gain here.\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
