Python Unicode Was: Not much database creation error

[Austin Clements]

This seems like a symptom of a much bigger problem.  Shouldn't the
bindings be checking or coercing the type of *every* argument that
gets passed from the caller through to a ctypes-wrapped libnotmuch
function?  Otherwise, a simple type error in a caller, like passing a
number instead of a string to one of the Python methods, would likely
result in a segfault.
