Yes there was a change to the Database constructor in the notmuch2 python module in 0.34.2. It now uses the library to search for configuration files and databases, so the semantics are a bit different. But it is also possible that that default for the config argument should be changed. Can you try with Database(config=Database.CONFIG.SEARCH) as db: @Floris: when I made the change to the Database constructor, I chose the default as CONFIG.NONE because this matched the previous semantics _except_ for finding the database path. But since I don't want to use the ad hoc default_path method anymore, maybe a better default would be CONFIG.SEARCH. I guess most users of the python bindings will be OK with the the configuration values in .notmuch-config being loaded by default.
