Windows-Toasts 0.3.0

Windows toast notifications sender

Windows-Toasts

Windows-Toasts is a Python library used to send toast notifications on Windows machines.

Installation

Windows-Toasts supports Windows 10 and 11. While toast notifications do work on Windows 8.1 and below, Microsoft added features in Windows 10 that were never backported.

Windows-Toasts is available through PyPI:

$ python -m pip install windows-toasts

Usage

Simple usage:

>>> from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastText1
>>> wintoaster = WindowsToaster('Python')
>>> newToast = ToastText1()
>>> newToast.SetBody('Hello, world!')
>>> newToast.on_activated = lambda _: print('Toast clicked!')
>>> wintoaster.show_toast(newToast)

But I already saw this package three times on PyPI!

I created this library since the other Windows toast notification libraries were all but abandoned, lacked features, and were using pywin32 bindings.
