+ """Represents a list of notmuch messages
+
+ This object provides an iterator over a list of notmuch messages
+ (Technically, it provides a wrapper for the underlying
+ *notmuch_messages_t* structure). Do note that the underlying library
+ only provides a one-time iterator (it cannot reset the iterator to
+ the start). Thus iterating over the function will "exhaust" the list
+ of messages, and a subsequent iteration attempt will raise a
+ :exc:`NotInitializedError`. If you need to
+ re-iterate over a list of messages you will need to retrieve a new
+ :class:`Messages` object or cache your :class:`Message`\s in a list
+ via::
+
+ msglist = list(msgs)
+
+ You can store and reuse the single :class:`Message` objects as often
+ as you want as long as you keep the parent :class:`Messages` object
+ around. (Due to hierarchical memory allocation, all derived
+ :class:`Message` objects will be invalid when we delete the parent
+ :class:`Messages` object, even if it was already exhausted.) So
+ this works::
+
+ db = Database()
+ msgs = Query(db,'').search_messages() #get a Messages() object
+ msglist = list(msgs)
+
+ # msgs is "exhausted" now and msgs.next() will raise an exception.
+ # However it will be kept alive until all retrieved Message()
+ # objects are also deleted. If you do e.g. an explicit del(msgs)
+ # here, the following lines would fail.
+
+ # You can reiterate over *msglist* however as often as you want.
+ # It is simply a list with :class:`Message`s.
+
+ print (msglist[0].get_filename())
+ print (msglist[1].get_filename())
+ print (msglist[0].get_message_id())
+
+
+ As :class:`Message` implements both __hash__() and __cmp__(), it is
+ possible to make sets out of :class:`Messages` and use set
+ arithmetic (this happens in python and will of course be *much*
+ slower than redoing a proper query with the appropriate filters::
+
+ s1, s2 = set(msgs1), set(msgs2)
+ s.union(s2)
+ s1 -= s2
+ ...
+
+ Be careful when using set arithmetic between message sets derived
+ from different Databases (ie the same database reopened after
+ messages have changed). If messages have added or removed associated
+ files in the meantime, it is possible that the same message would be
+ considered as a different object (as it points to a different file).
