Thanks for the pointer.  I installed it earlier this week and

I am trying to convince mutt-kz (which has notmuch integration)

The dependencies of alot makes this a bit of a challenge to run 
on Debian stable:

Alot depends on recent versions of notmuch (>=0.10) and urwid 
(>=1.0). Note that due to restrictions on argparse and 
subprocess, you need to run *python v>=2.7*,
