Yes, the examples there are current and still working.

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.

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).
