Hi

Can you give me some pointers on how to use the python module to get the JSON
data with notmuch effort, equivalent to the command:

    notmuch show --entire-thread=true --format=json id:<id>

?

Some key classes and methods would be helpful. From the documentation of the
python code, I couldn't find indications about any of the parameters like
--entire-thread and --format.

Thanks,
Flavius Aspra

I answered this on IRC, but for the archives, this is currently not
possible directly because the json generation code (in fact all of the
output formatting code) does not live in the library, which is what the
bindings bind to.

Hi Flavius :)

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 ;)
