+Nothing to do with Konrad's crash, but I consider the fact that the\r
+python bindings read ~/.notmuch-config to be a kind of layering\r
+violation, since that file belongs to the CLI, while the bindings are\r
+supposed to provide access to libnotmuch. Whether this is a real problem\r
+or just an aesthetic one, I'm not sure, but I thought I'd mention it\r
+since we are thinking of various config related issues. Obviously the\r
+location of the database is not one of the things it makes sense to\r
+store in the database. I can imagine scenarios where the bindings might\r
+be usable without the CLI, but they seem fairly artificial so far, since\r
+it seems like almost everyone needs notmuch-new / notmuch-insert.\r
