   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:])
