notipy

A minimalistic gtk3 notification daemon written in python.

Introduction

notipy is an implementation of the Desktop Notification Specification. It shows message popups using gtk3, allowing for pango marked up message bodies and icons that can be specified in various ways.

The design goals of notipy include a minimalistic implementation (following the unix philosophy "do one thing and do it well") and having as little as possible dependencies.

Installation

notipy requires the following libraries to work:

• gtk3
• pygobject
• dbus-python
• libcanberra

Installation is simply done via:

./setup.py install [--root=<root dir> --prefix=<prefix dir>]

Configuration

Until now, notipy is configured via command-line arguments or via configuration file (notipy.conf).

For configuration via command-line options, read notipy --help

For configuration via file, read info in /etc/notipy.conf

Roadmap

• Python3 support
