Comprehensive bindings and command line utility for the Pushover notification service

Project description

Info

This is a fork of the python-pushover project from https://github.com/Thibauth/python-pushover.git It seems that it is no longer maintained and the latest code changes weren’t published as release. So at the moment this fork has no real code changes, but provides a new release and publishing to pypi.

The below documentation seems to be outdated.

About

python-pushover aims at providing comprehensive Python bindings for the API of the Pushover Notification Service as documented here.

Installation

You can install python-pushover from Pypi with:

$ pip install python-pushover

Or you can install it directly from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/Thibauth/python-pushover.git
cd python-pushover
pip install .

Overview

After being imported, the module must be initialized by calling the init function with a valid application token. Thus, a typical use of the pushover module looks like this:

from pushover import init, Client

init("<token>")
Client("<user-key>").send_message("Hello!", title="Hello")

You can also pass the api_token optional argument to Client to initialize the module at the same time:

from pushover import Client

client = Client("<user-key>", api_token="<api-token>")
client.send_message("Hello!", title="Hello")

Attachments can be sent with the attachment parameter which takes as argument as file object:

with open('/path/to/my/image.png', 'rb') as image:
    client.send_message('Message with image', attachment=image)

Command line

python-pushover also comes with a command line utility pushover that you can use as follows:

pushover --api-token <api-token> --user-key <user-key> "Hello!"

Use pushover --help to see the list of available options.

Configuration

Both the pushover module and the pushover command line utility support reading arguments from a configuration file.

The most basic configuration file looks like this:

[Default]
api_token=aaaaaa
user_key=xxxxxx

You can have additional sections and specify a device as well:

[Sam-iPhone]
api_token=bbbbbb
user_key=yyyyyy
device=iPhone

python-pushover will attempt to read the configuration from ~/.pushoverrc by default. The section to read can be specified by using the profile argument. With the configuration file above, you can send a message by simply doing:

from pushover import Client

Client().send_message("Hello!", title="Hello")

or pushover --title "Hello" "Hello!" from the command line.

API
