gcp-notifier 0.1.5

A simple notification library for Google Cloud projects. Sends alerts via Email and Google Chat.

GCP Notifier

Synchronous Usage

Import and use in your Python code:

from gcp_notifier import notify, notify_on_failure

# Send a notification (choose channels: "email", "gchat", or both)
notify(
  subject="Alert Subject",
  body="Alert body text",
  channels=["email", "gchat"]  # or ["email"] or ["gchat"]
)

# Use as tenacity retry_error_callback
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), retry_error_callback=notify_on_failure)
def always_fails():
  # This function will always fail, triggering notify_on_failure after retries
  raise ValueError("This is a test error for notification.")

always_fails()

Async Usage

You can send notifications asynchronously using the async API:

import asyncio
from gcp_notifier import async_notify, async_notify_on_failure

# Send a notification asynchronously
async def main():
  await async_notify(
    subject="Async Alert",
    body="This is an async alert!",
    channels=["email", "gchat"]
  )

asyncio.run(main())

# Use as tenacity retry_error_callback (async)
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), retry_error_callback=async_notify_on_failure)
async def always_fails_async():
  raise ValueError("This is a test error for async notification.")

asyncio.run(always_fails_async())

Installation

Install from PyPI (recommended):

pip install gcp-notifier

For async features (async_notify, async_notify_on_failure), install with the optional async dependencies:

pip install 'gcp-notifier[async]'

This will install the package plus the required async libraries (aiosmtplib, httpx).

Quick Start

1. Install the package (see Installation above).

2. The account (personal or service) running this code must have the 'Secret Manager Secret Accessor' role in your GCP project.

3. The required secrets must be in the same GCP project where your Python script or notebook is running.

4. Add your required secrets to Google Secret Manager in your GCP project:

   • GCHAT_WEBHOOK_URL (for Google Chat)
   • EMAIL_SENDER (sender email address for Email)
   • EMAIL_PASSWORD (password or app password for sender)
   • EMAIL_RECIPIENTS (comma-separated list of recipient email addresses)

5. Import and use notify in your code as shown below.

Building and Publishing

This project uses a modern Python packaging workflow with pyproject.toml.

To build the package:

python -m pip install --upgrade build
python -m build

To check and upload to PyPI:

python -m pip install --upgrade twine
twine check dist/*
twine upload dist/*

See Python Packaging User Guide for more details.
