+Hi Flavius :)\r
+\r
+welcome to notmuch :)\r
+\r
+Quoting Flavius Aspra (2013-04-18 10:11:37)\r
+> Can you give me some pointers on how to use the python module to get the =\r
+JSON\r
+> data with notmuch effort, equivalent to the command:\r
+            ^^^^^^^ hehe :)\r
+\r
+Ok, here it is:\r
+\r
+teythoon@thinkbox ~/tmp % cat flavius.py\r
+import notmuch\r
+\r
+db =3D notmuch.Database()\r
+q =3D db.create_query('from:Flavius')\r
+\r
+for m in q.search_messages():\r
+    print(m)\r
+\r
+for t in q.search_threads():\r
+    for m in t.get_toplevel_messages():\r
+        print(m)\r

+There once was a json encoder that produced something similar to\r
+notmuch show --format=3Djson, but that was there only to be used by a\r
+python version of the notmuch cli binary. That was unmaintained and\r
+apparently unused, I removed it and the json encoder some time ago.\r
+\r
+If you absolutely need json, put the result in some suitable data\r
+structure and use pythons json module to encode it.\r
+\r
+> Some key classes and methods would be helpful. From the documentation of =\r
+the\r
+> python code, I couldn't find indications about any of the parameters like\r
+> --entire-thread and --format.\r
+\r
+Have you seen http://notmuch.readthedocs.org ?\r
+\r
+Also, if you want to see some code that uses the python bindings, go\r
+to github.com/pazz/alot (nice MUA written in python, but it's huge) or\r
+github.com/teythoon/afew (tagging solution, tiny codebase compared to\r
+alot).\r
+\r
+Good luck :)\r
+Justus\r
+\r
+btw: cool name ;)\r
