+ useful and widely tested, it also offers a handy hook that
+ will come in useful a bit later in our setup. Also supports
+ "presynchook" and "postsynchook" command that will get run
+ whenever you sync. Point _postsynchook_ to a script that gets run
+ on every sync and that will do the automatic updating and tagging
+ of your notmuch database.

+* <span id="print_filenames">**Print only filenames of a search (python bindings)**</span>
+
+ Notmuch includes python bindings to the notmuch shared library,
+ called [cnotmuch](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cnotmuch). Extensive
+ API documentation available.
+
+ The bindings are very simple to use. As an example, given you have
+ the python bindings installed (or simply set your PYTHONPATH
+ environment variable to point to the .../bindings/python directory),
+ this script will print the filenames of a matching search:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/env python
+ import sys
+ import notmuch
+ search = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
+ q = notmuch.Database().create_query(search)
+ for m in q.search_messages():
+ print m.get_filename()
