klaxon 0.1.2

Use osascript to send notifications.

klaxon

Send Mac OS notifications from the terminal or Python programs.

This is useful for when you want a push notification for some long-running background task.

This is similar to the terminal-notifier ruby gem, but posix-compliant and with fewer features (PR's welcome).

Security Notice

DO NOT send untrusted input to through klaxon.

Someone could use a shell escape sequence to execute arbitrary code on your machine as klaxon functions by invoking osascript via a subprocess call.

You have been warned.

Usage

terminal

# blank notification
klaxon
# with custom message
klaxon --message "this is the message body"
# pipe message from other program
echo "this is the message body" | klaxon --

python

from klaxon import klaxon, klaxonify

# send a blank notification

klaxon()

# we can decorate our functions to have
# them send notifications at termination

@klaxonify
def hello(name='world'):
    return f'hello, {name}'

@klaxonify(title='oh hai', output_as_message=True)
def foo():
    return "This will be the message body."

Installation

For command-line use, the recommended method of installation is through pipx.

pipx install klaxon

Naturally, klaxon can also be pip-installed.

pip install klaxon
