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(old version) from Pypi with:

$ pip install python-pushover

Or you can install it(newer version) directly from GitHub:

not good: git clone https://github.com/Thibauth/python-pushover.git or
tested:   git clone https://github.com/selay01/python-pushover.git
cd python-pushover
pip install .

Overview

You can pass the token argument to Client to initialize the module, and then the user argument when it need:

from pushover import Client

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

You can also pass the token argument and the user optional argument to Client to initialize the module at the same time:

from pushover import Client

client = Client("<api-token>", "<user-key>")
client.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.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 --token <api-token> --user <user-key> "Hello,there"

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().message("Hello!", title="Hello")

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