Growl is a Python interface for the Growl (GNTP) protocol. It can be used to build registration and notification packets for sending over a socket connection.
>>> from growl import Registration, Notification, GROWL_UDP_PORT >>> from socket import socket, AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM >>> addr = ("localhost", GROWL_UDP_PORT) >>> s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) >>> p = Registration() >>> p.add_notification() >>> s.sendto(p.payload(), addr) >>> >>> p = Notification() >>> s.sendto(p.payload(), addr)
To install Growl, simply:
$ pip install growl
You should have either the open-source version of Growl (1.2.2) or the commercial version of Growl (2.1.2). In the Network pane of the Growl preferences, check both:
- Listen for incoming notifications
- Allow remote application registration
If you set a server password (which you should), include the password in all packets sent.
Forked to Github from Rui Carmo's netgrowl.py: https://the.taoofmac.com/space/projects/netgrowl
Ingmar J Stein (Growl Team) and John Morrissey both contributed to netgrowl.py
The goal of this fork is to provide compatability with both the commerical and open-source versions of Growl, improve PEP-8 support and encourage contributions by hosting on Github.
