This is a proposal for a terminal gui for notmuch mail written in python using the urwid toolkit.
You can find some old screenshots in data/alot*png,
the files INSTALL and USAGE contain instructions on how to set it up,
use and customize. These files are nicely rendered in the github wiki.
The API docs for the current master branch are here.
the docs directory contains their sources.
Do comment on the code or file issues! I'm curious what you think of it. You can talk to me in #notmuch@Freenode.
