This object provides an iterator over a list of notmuch tags (which

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 tags, and a subsequent
iteration attempt will raise a :exc:`NotmuchError`
STATUS.NOT_INITIALIZED. Also note, that any function that uses
iteration (nearly all) will also exhaust the tags. So both::
for tag in tags: print tag
as well as::
number_of_tags = len(tags)
and even a simple::
#str() iterates over all tags to construct a space separated list
print(str(tags))
will "exhaust" the Tags. If you need to re-iterate over a list of
tags you will need to retrieve a new :class:`Tags` object.
