PushBullet Messaging and Alerting tools

To use this you should get the pushbullet app on your phone. On your computer, first go to the pushbullet website, and create an account. Then go to Settings and click Create Access Token. Copy this token as you will need it for configuring pushbullet_tools.

Installation

pip install pushbullet_tools
pbmsg config YOUR_PUSHBULLET_API_TOKEN

This will store your API token using your user's local python keyring.

Command-line Usage

pbmsg push -m 'push a simple message'
pbmsg push --title 'message title' -m 'message body'
pbmsg push --link <URL> --title 'Link Title' --body 'additional message to include'
pbmsg push --file <FILE_URL>

Context Manager

The pushbullet_tools.push_alert context manager you can execute a process and receive a push notification on process completion or on error.

import pushbullet_tools as pbt

with pbt.push_alert():
    /** insert long running process here **/

with pbt.push_alert(title='With love from {username}',
                    success_msg='This Turkey is cooked!',
                    fail_msg='There was a problem see: {error}',
                    closing_func=cleanup_func):
    /** do lots of stuff **/

The messages can be customized and a closing_func can be assign to run after process regardless of whether an error is thrown.

pm.push_link('link title', 'some message context', 'link URL')
