 These are the things I noticed when going through the code today:
 1) in filenames.py,  __str__ of Filenames: should the return value be
'\n'.join(self._files)? alternatively, define __iter__ to make this object
behave as iterator.

To be honest, I don't remember why the code looks the way it looks, but
it certainly is not right like this. Defining __iter__ sounds like a
correct thing to me, but it could be that there was some reason why I
don't have it...
Feel free to implement a working __iter__ and provide a patch :-).

 2) in message.py:  tags_to_maildir_flags and maildir_flags_to_tags never 
 return a
:class:`STATUS` as advertised.

But it has been doing that for, , 1 minute :-)
[master ecf8da3] python: Return a STATUS value in tags_to_flags and 
flags_to_tags

(thanks)

 I would like to see up-to-date API docs online, even if only the
 version string changed.
 Sebastian suggested using readthedocs.org for building and hosting APIdocs.

I currently manually upload a generated API doc to the
packages.python.org website. I kind of like that address because it
sounds official ;-), but it is manual work. I am currently not looking
into expending the efforts I have to do on python notmuch. So setting

 I tested this recently for alot and it looks quite promising.
 A simple http get and their build-host checks out the new sources from git 
 and builds
 them. This could be easily integrated into notmuch the release process.
 Comments on this?

I think that it would be cool to have that automatically been done on
notmuchmail.org. But given that it takes some work to set that up and
readthedocs.org is already there, I am all for using that for now.
 
 Lastly, does anyone have an opinion on how to share a TODO list/issue tracker
 for the bindings? I'm OK with github, we could move all this to the list
 and use David's nmbug..

Ohh, there is already notmuch::python in nmbug :-)

 I don't want to imply that this can be answered with yes/no, but more to
 get a comparison of the two approaches.

Invoking notmuch the script and piping the results? I wouldn't call that
python bindings anymore then. Also it is bound to be much more expensive
than directly interfacing libnotmuch.so.

 Naïvely, I imagine there is a header file and the generation of the
 python bindings happens rather automagic.

I wish it would be that easy. :-)

I've never actually used it, so I may be way off base, but would it be possible
to use SWIG (http://www.swig.org/) to automatically generate bindings when the C
library is updated, or at least provide a decent starting point?

Highly appreciated!

I updated http://notmuchmail.org/howto/ to point to notmuch instead of
cnotmuch, but I cannot tell whether the example there is still
up-to-date.

I think it is confusing that it has a different versioning than notmuch
itself and that it would be more intuitive if the current bindings on
pypi [1] would have the same version as the current stable release of
notmuch. If they would also work with older releases of notmuch, that
could still be indicated, as it is done now.

Yes, the examples there are current and still working.
 
 I think it is confusing that it has a different versioning than notmuch
 itself and that it would be more intuitive if the current bindings on
 pypi [1] would have the same version as the current stable release of
 notmuch.

But that would require that the python bindings are actually updated to
the current API of notmuch :-). Because they currently are not. E.g. the
get_filename/get_filenames addition is still not included.

 If they would also work with older releases of notmuch, that
 could still be indicated, as it is done now.

As far as for testing current implementations with older notmuch
libraries, I welcome people to contribute patches to the documentation
because I certainly will not test all combinations :-).

To be honest, I don't even use the python bindings anymore, not that
notmuch proper is able to give me all I need (especially file names).

Hey, James.  Is this related to the python documentation somehow?  If
so, I'm not sure how.

If you're just referencing a completed TODO, you could definitely submit
a patch to remove it from the TODO.
