pushno

pushno is a simple Python package that allows the sending of push notification messages to mobile devices. Currently, it supports the two services PushOver and Prowl, but due to its modular structure it can be extended to other services in the future.

Installation

The simplest way to install pushno is to install it via pip from PyPi:

pip install -U pushno

Prerequisites

Depending on the service that should be used, first, a corresponding account must be created at PushOver or Prowl. Then, a corresponding API key must be generated that should be used in the following.

Example

In the following examples, the simple usage of pushno is presented.

Prowl

from pushno import PushNotification

pn = PushNotification(
    "prowl", api_key=PUSHNO_PROWL_API_KEY, application="pushno"
)
is_valid, res = pn.validate_user()
if is_valid:
    pn.send(event="How simple is that?", description="Great News")
else:
    print(res)

Pushover

from pushno import PushNotification

pn = PushNotification(
    "pushover", token=PUSHNO_PUSHOVER_API_KEY, user=PUSHNO_PUSHOVER_USER_KEY
)
is_valid, res = pn.validate_user()
if is_valid:
    pn.send(title="How simple is that?", message="Great News")
else:
    print(res)

Note that the validation of the user account is optional and thus, can be omitted when the validity of the user account is assured. As a result, a push notification can be sent in two lines of Python code.
