pynotify-auto 0.1.3

Zero-Code automatic notifications for long-running Python scripts.

pynotify-auto

Zero-Code automatic notifications for long-running Python scripts.

Tired of checking your terminal every 5 minutes to see if your script finished? pynotify-auto automatically pings you (with a sound and a system notification) when any Python script runs for more than 5 seconds.

No code changes required. Just install and forget.

Features

• Zero-Code Integration: Works automatically across your entire system/environment.
• Smart Thresholding: Only pings if the script ran for a meaningful amount of time (default > 5s).
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Configurable: Change the threshold or disable it via environment variables.

Installation

Via Pip

pip install pynotify-auto

How it Works

The library uses a Python Path Configuration file (.pth) to register an atexit hook during Python startup. This allows it to monitor the execution time of any script without you having to import anything manually.

Configuration

You can customize the behavior using environment variables:

• PYNOTIFY_MODE: Notification type. Options: popup (default), sound.
• PYNOTIFY_THRESHOLD: Minimum execution time in seconds (default: 5.0).
• PYNOTIFY_DISABLE: Set to 1 to disable notifications for a specific run.

Examples

# Only get a sound notification (no popup)
export PYNOTIFY_MODE=sound
python training.py

# Only notify if script takes longer than 10 minutes
export PYNOTIFY_THRESHOLD=600
python long_process.py

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Once installed, you can use the pynotify-auto command to test your settings:

• pynotify-auto --test: Trigger a test notification.
• pynotify-auto --info: View current mode and threshold settings.
• pynotify-auto --help: Show all available commands.
