It looks nice. A little bit more cheerful than I would have chosen by
default, but maybe that's good ;).  I was curious about a few things.

In the docs, you write

  If your notmuch configuration is a non-standard place, you can specify
  this by setting the NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment variable. Note that the
  Python API only picks up options that are included in the
  database. You may have to run e.g.

        notmuch config set --database search.exclude_tags 'deleted'

This sounds a bit odd to me; modern notmuch should transparently merge
config information from the text config file and the database. I suspect
this might be related to my next question.

It looks like you are using the legacy bindings. I was literally
planning on removing those from the next upstream release, so I hope
either I'm wrong or you can migrate easily to the cffi bindings (called
notmuch2 most places).

all the best,

David
