28 """Represents a list of notmuch threads
30 This object provides an iterator over a list of notmuch threads
31 (Technically, it provides a wrapper for the underlying
32 *notmuch_threads_t* structure). Do note that the underlying
33 library only provides a one-time iterator (it cannot reset the
34 iterator to the start). Thus iterating over the function will
35 "exhaust" the list of threads, and a subsequent iteration attempt
36 will raise a :exc:`NotmuchError` STATUS.NOT_INITIALIZED. Also
37 note, that any function that uses iteration will also
38 exhaust the messages. So both::
40 for thread in threads: print thread
44 number_of_msgs = len(threads)
46 will "exhaust" the threads. If you need to re-iterate over a list of
47 messages you will need to retrieve a new :class:`Threads` object.
49 Things are not as bad as it seems though, you can store and reuse
50 the single Thread objects as often as you want as long as you
51 keep the parent Threads object around. (Recall that due to
52 hierarchical memory allocation, all derived Threads objects will
53 be invalid when we delete the parent Threads() object, even if it
54 was already "exhausted".) So this works::
57 threads = Query(db,'').search_threads() #get a Threads() object
59 for thread in threads:
60 threadlist.append(thread)
62 # threads is "exhausted" now and even len(threads) will raise an
64 # However it will be kept around until all retrieved Thread() objects are
65 # also deleted. If you did e.g. an explicit del(threads) here, the
66 # following lines would fail.
68 # You can reiterate over *threadlist* however as often as you want.
69 # It is simply a list with Thread objects.
