But I'm happy to see that there = +are enough potential users +to be confused by this and will fix this inconsistency in the docs. + +By the way: If you want to be on the safe side regarding the bindings, go f= +or notmuch and its python bindings +from git master instead of potentially outdated versions provided by your d= +istri. + +Cheers, +/p
