Python bindings for the Growl Notification Transport Protocol
Bugs can be reported at the GitHub issue tracker
SIMPLE MESSAGE SENDING
from gntp.notifier import mini
# Send a simple growl message with mostly default values
mini("Here's a quick message", callback="http://github.com/")
gntp.notifier.mini(description, applicationName='PythonMini', noteType='Message',
title='Mini Message', applicationIcon=None, hostname='localhost', password=None,
port=23053, sticky=False, priority=None, callback=None, notificationIcon=None,
identifier=None, notifierFactory=<class 'gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier'>)
Single notification function
Simple notification function in one line. Has only one required parameter and
attempts to use reasonable defaults for everything else :param string description:
Notification message
WARNING:
For now, only URL callbacks are supported. In the future, the callback argument
will also support a function
DETAILED MESSAGE SENDING
class gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(applicationName='Python GNTP', notifications=[],
defaultNotifications=None, applicationIcon=None, hostname='localhost', password=None,
port=23053)
Helper class to simplfy sending Growl messages
Parameters
• applicationName (string) -- Sending application name
• notification (list) -- List of valid notifications
• defaultNotifications (list) -- List of notifications that should be
enabled by default
• applicationIcon (string) -- Icon URL
• hostname (string) -- Remote host
• port (integer) -- Remote port
The GrowlNotifier class is intended to mostly mirror the older python bindings for growl
GrowlNotifier.register()
Send GNTP Registration
WARNING:
Before sending notifications to Growl, you need to have sent a registration
message at least once
GrowlNotifier.notify(noteType, title, description, icon=None, sticky=False, priority=None,
callback=None, identifier=None, custom={})
Send a GNTP notifications
WARNING:
Must have registered with growl beforehand or messages will be ignored
Parameters
• noteType (string) -- One of the notification names registered earlier
• title (string) -- Notification title (usually displayed on the
notification)
• description (string) -- The main content of the notification
• icon (string) -- Icon URL path
• sticky (boolean) -- Sticky notification
• priority (integer) -- Message priority level from -2 to 2
• callback (string) -- URL callback
• custom (dict) -- Custom attributes. Key names should be prefixed with X-
according to the spec but this is not enforced by this class
WARNING:
For now, only URL callbacks are supported. In the future, the callback argument
will also support a function
GrowlNotifier.subscribe(id, name, port)
Send a Subscribe request to a remote machine
COMPLETE EXAMPLE
import gntp.notifier
# Simple "fire and forget" notification
gntp.notifier.mini("Here's a quick message")
# More complete example
growl = gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(
applicationName = "My Application Name",
notifications = ["New Updates","New Messages"],
defaultNotifications = ["New Messages"],
# hostname = "computer.example.com", # Defaults to localhost
# password = "abc123" # Defaults to a blank password
)
growl.register()
# Send one message
growl.notify(
noteType = "New Messages",
title = "You have a new message",
description = "A longer message description",
icon = "http://example.com/icon.png",
sticky = False,
priority = 1,
)
# Try to send a different type of message
# This one may fail since it is not in our list
# of defaultNotifications
growl.notify(
noteType = "New Updates",
title = "There is a new update to download",
description = "A longer message description",
icon = "http://example.com/icon.png",
sticky = False,
priority = -1,
)
# Send the image with the growl notification
image = open('/path/to/icon.png', 'rb').read()
growl.notify(
noteType = "New Messages",
title = "Now with icons",
description = "This time we attach the image",
icon = image,
)
GNTP CONFIGFILE EXAMPLE
class gntp.config.GrowlNotifier(*args, **kwargs)
ConfigParser enhanced GrowlNotifier object
For right now, we are only interested in letting users overide certain values from
~/.gntp
