select-notifier 0.2.1

Lightweight notification package(email & Rocket.Chat, Telegram) for Select services

Name

Select-Notifier: Lightweight Notification Module (Email + Rocket.Chat + Telegram)

---

Description

Select-Notifier is a small, production-friendly Python package that provides a unified interface for sending notifications.
It currently supports:

• EmailNotifier — SMTP with robust input validation, STARTTLS/SSL support, retries & backoff (subject required)
• RocketNotifier — Rocket.Chat integration via REST API (chat.postMessage) with retries & backoff (subject optional)
• TelegramNotifier — Telegram Bot API integration using python-telegram-bot with retries & backoff (subject optional)

The package is designed to be embedded inside Select services and pipelines where a simple, reliable notifier is needed.

Badges

On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project.
You can use Shields.io to add badges. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge.

Visuals

Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos).
Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method.

    - STARTTLS (587) and SMTPS/SSL (465)
    - Retries with exponential backoff

    - Auth with userId + authToken
    - Send to channels (#channel) or direct messages (@user)
    - Retries with exponential backoff
    - Subject is optional

✅ Telegram (Bot API via python-telegram-bot):
    - Bot token + chat_id
    - Send to private chats (after user has started the bot) or groups (bot must be added)

Usage

EmailNotifier (STARTTLS, port 587)

from select_notifier.services.email import EmailNotifier

notifier = EmailNotifier.create(
    sender="[e-mail]",
    password="your-app-password",
    server="smtp.example.com",
    port=587,
    use_tls=True,
    use_ssl=False,
    timeout=30.0,
    retries=2,
    backoff=1.5,
)

notifier.send_text(
    subject="Hello from Select-Notifier",   # subject REQUIRED for email
    body="This is a test message.",
    to=["[e-mail]"],
)

EmailNotifier (SMTPS, port 465)

from select_notifier.services.email import EmailNotifier

notifier = EmailNotifier.create(
    sender="[e-mail]",
    password="your-app-password",   # use an app password, not your login password
    server="smtp.example.com",
    port=465,
    use_tls=False,                  # no STARTTLS on SMTPS
    use_ssl=True,                   # implicit SSL (SMTPS)
    timeout=30.0,
    retries=2,
    backoff=1.5,
)

notifier.send_text(
    subject="Hello from Select-Notifier",
    body="This is a test message over SMTPS (465).",
    to=["[e-mail]"],
)

RocketNotifier (REST API)

from select_notifier.services.rocket import RocketNotifier

notifier = RocketNotifier.create(
    domain="https://chat.company.com",
    user_id="YOUR_USER_ID",
    auth_token="YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
    retries=2,
    backoff=1.5,
)

notifier.send_text(
    subject="Deploy",   # subject OPTIONAL
    body="Production deployment finished",
    to=["#ops"],   # or ["@username"]
)

TelegramNotifier (subject optional, with proxy example)

from select_notifier.services.telegram import TelegramNotifier
from select_notifier.base import normalize_message

notifier = TelegramNotifier.create(
    bot_token="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
    api_base="https://api.telegram.org",
    proxy_url="http://127.0.0.1:10809",   # optional
    retries=1,
    backoff=1.5,
)
# user must have started the bot, or bot must be added to group
msg = normalize_message(subject="", body="Hello via Telegram ✅", to=["123456789"])
notifier.send(msg)

Notes & Limitations

• Gmail: Use an App Password (no spaces).
• Rocket.Chat: Requires a valid userId and authToken. User must have permission to post in the target channel/DM.
• Telegram:
  • To DM, the user must have clicked Start on the bot at least once.
  • To send in a group, add the bot to the group (make admin if you want it to manage messages).
  • chat_id can be retrieved using getUpdates or helper bots (e.g., @userinfobot).
• Proxy: If your region blocks Telegram or other services, provide proxy_url (http/socks) when creating the notifier.
