Hi Flavius :)
welcome to notmuch :)

Ok, here it is:
teythoon@thinkbox ~/tmp % cat flavius.py
import notmuch
db = notmuch.Database()
q = db.create_query('from:Flavius')
for m in q.search_messages():
print(m)
for t in q.search_threads():
for m in t.get_toplevel_messages():
print(m)
teythoon@thinkbox ~/tmp % python3 flavius.py

There once was a json encoder that produced something similar to
notmuch show --format=json, but that was there only to be used by a
python version of the notmuch cli binary. That was unmaintained and
apparently unused, I removed it and the json encoder some time ago.
If you absolutely need json, put the result in some suitable data
structure and use pythons json module to encode it.

Have you seen http://notmuch.readthedocs.org ?
Also, if you want to see some code that uses the python bindings, go
to github.com/pazz/alot (nice MUA written in python, but it's huge) or
github.com/teythoon/afew (tagging solution, tiny codebase compared to
alot).
Good luck :)
Justus
btw: cool name ;)
