Ug, this naming issue is unfortunate.  I don't really like "notmuch3" as
a reference to python 3, honestly.

What about making these new bindings only for python3, and the old ones
relegating to python2, and then just using the same name?  Is that too
confusing?  Do we need to maintain both concurrently?

jamie.
