If the version +you get from pypi is newer than your libnotmuch, you will get errors +*at runtime*. + +Also I just looked at http://oswatershed.org/pkg/notmuch and +http://oswatershed.org/pkg/python-notmuch . It looks like every +distribution that is shipping libnotmuch packages also ships the +python bindings. So everyone who got libnotmuch from their +distribution can also obtain the appropriate bindings. And everyone +who compiled notmuch also has the bindings. I'm just not sure what's +to gain here. + +Cheers, +Justus -- 2.26.2
