Hi,

How does it work? I use Eclipse and "import gntp" works. I look at the .doc file Application Integration Guide but the code is C++ inside. How do you register and send event to Growl. Any How To guide about this on the web?

Sorry about creating an issue for beginners questions... :(

Have a GTNP ready with "normal" Growl wrapper that can be used for other projects with a simple structure which won't assume anything (i.e. don't force a user to specify everything)

Hi,

I tried to run the one liner on my osx 10.6 (with python 2.7) but keep getting a socket timeout problem.

Is this a compatibility issue or am I missing a setting? I have pasted my modified one liner below:
Simple "fire and forget" notification
gntp.notifier.mini("Here's a quick message",port=23052)

As you can see I had to change the port number from 23053 and I was wondering if there are other settings I need to change.

Error stack says:
"s.connect((self.hostname, self.port))
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known"

Appreciate your help

Test script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from subprocess import check_output

# GNTP uses the standard Python logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

import gntp.notifier

# More complete example
growl = gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(
    applicationName = "My Application Name",
    notifications = ["New Updates","New Messages"],
    defaultNotifications = ["New Messages"],
    # hostname = "computer.example.com", # Defaults to localhost
    # password = "abc123" # Defaults to a blank password
)
growl.register()


a = str(check_output(["mpc","-f","%file%"]))
aa = a.split("\n",1)[0].split("/")
l=len(aa[:-1])
aaa = ""
for i in range(0, l):
    aaa = aaa + aa[i] + "/"
folderpath = "/Volumes/My Passport/µziq/" + aaa + "folder.jpg"
# For example: folderpath = "/Volumes/My Passport/µziq/Can - Tago Mago (40th Anniversary Edition) [V0] {Waffles}/Disc 1/folder.jpg"
image = open(folderpath, 'rb').read()

# Send one message
growl.notify(
    noteType = "New Messages",
    title = "You have a new message",
    description = "A longer message description",
    icon = image,
    sticky = False,
    priority = 1,
)

I get error:

In reading the docs for Growl, I believe it should be possible to import the gntp module and dispatch a notification. If I read the docs correctly, 'Mist' should be invoked to display the notification when Growl is not installed.

After installing gntp on a machine without Growl, I do the following in Python 2.7 (OS X 10.8.1):

import gntp.notifier
gntp.notifier.mini("Here's a quick message")

and I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gntp/notifier.py", line 48, in mini

Am I misunderstanding the Mist feature?

First few messages are Ok, but after some moment all notifications fail. I'm using gntp 0.9 from pypi and Growl for Linux package from ArchLinux (growl-for-linux-git in aur). Traceback follows.

I installed the regrowl version by snicker. Don’t know if it’s the problem of gntp or the problem of regrowl. The information received by Prowl can only display one line, and the line break part is gone. The newline part has been removed in the Notification-Text of debug info and only the rest was forwarded to Prowl. It is suspected that gntp has a problem with the processing of line breaks after receiving the information.

Local icon files fail with the current version.

The _checkIcon(self, data) function in notifier.py should be updated to support 'file' URL schemes.

Line 72 should be changed from:
return gntp.shim.u(data).startswith('http')
to:
return gntp.shim.u(data).startswith('http') or gntp.shim.u(data).startswith('file')

When I try to run the /test/attributes.py script, it fails:

No handlers could be found for logger "gntp.notifier"

When I add the lines to import logging,

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)

I get two errors:

ERROR:gntp.notifier:Invalid response: (u'402', u'A is not registered for Python GNTP')
ERROR:gntp.notifier:Invalid response: (u'402', u'B is not registered for Python GNTP')

EDIT: with debug logging, this is the output:

Edit: fixed by adding gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier.register()

Discovered while testing #36

If the config file does not exist and does not have a [gntp] section, it prints using logging.info() and then the later logging.basicConfig() fails to run.

Some sample code/examples for some cases, perhaps?

Python 2.7 on Windows.

URL-based images work
setting image as <open('c:/home/hugo/work/woopra/woopra.png').read() > doesn't work...

The growl.notify() clause still returns true, but no notification is shown.

Growl for Windows forwards packets to network destinations using AES encryption and a SHA256 password hash. gntp seems to only decode incoming hashes using MD5, regardless of what the packet header specifies.

Here's a snapshot of the data in the outgoing packet from GFW:

Hi, I installed gntp with pip on my machine running ubuntu 15.10. The installation looks ok, but when I type:

python -m gntp.notifier  #to check the installation

I get the following error:

Do you have an idea what is going on and how to fix it? Thank you

When creating a second GrowlNotifier object (needed when changing IP address), the new instance gets a merge of the previous last notification list and the new notification list.
The result is that the Growl server refuses the new list because it contains duplicates.
The only work-around I found was to reset the class attributes before creating a new instance.

GNTPRegister.notifications = []
GNTPRegister.headers = {}
growler = GrowlNotifier(.....)

I had a hard time following where class attributes and where instance attributes were used.
Python class attributes are tricky monsters.

After installing growl. when I am checking "python -m gntp.notifier" I am getting errors.

Documentation needs update
The readme gives the URL, yet this isn't working anymore.

Clicking a notification doesn't open the callback URL in the browser. The code I'm using is here: githubfeed.py.

But even the sample code has the same problem (at least on my system):

from gntp.notifier import mini
# Send a simple growl message with mostly default values
mini("Here's a quick message", callback="http://github.com/")

Is there any configuration/setting I'm missing?

I'm having trouble getting icons to display with GNTP, using the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

import gntp.notifier

growl = gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(
    applicationName = "My Application Name",
    notifications = ["New Updates","New Messages"],
    defaultNotifications = ["New Messages"],
    # hostname = "computer.example.com", # Defaults to localhost
    # password = "abc123" # Defaults to a blank password
)
growl.register()

# Send one message
growl.notify(
    noteType = "New Messages",
    title = "You have a new message",
    description = "A longer message description",
    icon = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Exquisite-khelpcenter.png",
    sticky = False,
    priority = 1,
)

I'm running Mac Lion, 10.7.2, with Growl 1.3.3 from the App Store. The notification pops up with correct title and description, but the generic orb with lines and dots image. I get the same error when I try to reference local icons, such as /Users/akerl/Downloads/Exquisite-khelpcenter.png.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting I have to adjust to allow this module to specify an icon?

Hi, I have ubuntu server 12.04 and python 2.7

Running python -m gntp.notifier alternates between:

INFO:__main__:Sending notification [Message] to localhost:23053

and:

 ERROR:__main__:Invalid response: (u'303', u'Growl does not have enough information in (null) to parse')

In our production code using gntp, a third alternating message occurs:

ERROR:gntp.notifier:Invalid response: (u'400', u'Unsupported encryption type, NONE@/\x07')

There's no pattern to how these messages are sent - multiple fails, then a success.

When setting notification texts containing non-US ASCII characters(e.g. é) in "GrowlNotifier", sending actual messages will fail.
All texts are internally converted to Unicode by GNTPRegister, but the "send" method of "GrowlNotifier" tries to send Unicode strings directly, without first converting to UTF-8.

Changing line 126 to s.send(data.encode('utf-8', 'replace')) should do the trick.

Need to test, but my initial suspicion is that the bundled wheel file isn't setup correctly so it can't find the entry point.

To make it easier on people using this library, should possibly catch any other errors, like socket.Errors and only return a GNTP error.

Are there any examples of how to create "Custom Attributes"?

Looking at the the "Growl for Windows - Application Integration Guide", I can see it defined as:

Custom Attributes

In addition to the defined properties that are sent in a GNTP request, you can also include additional custom properties. Consider a music player that wants to send additional track information such as artist, album, genre, duration, and rating – these are properties specific to the sending application and thus not part of the defined notification spec, but could be useful information to display nonetheless.
Custom attributes come in two flavors: text and binary. To add either type:

notification.CustomTextAttributes.Add("Rating", "5 Stars");
notification.CustomTextAttributes.Add("Genre", "Alternative");
notification.CustomBinaryAttributes.Add("Sound", new BinaryData(new byte[] { ...bytes... }));

Custom attributes can be attached to an Application, NotificationType, or Notification and are inherited down the chain. Any custom attributes are passed to the display that handles the notification. While most generic displays will not recognize these custom values and ignore them, a custom display could be written that can take advantage of the extended information.

I'd like to forward some notifications to the "Webhook" plugin (http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/forwarders/webhook), and pass along device ID's and other variables needed for the pushingbox.com or Notifrier APIs.

If Custom Attributes aren't supported, I'll just use two scripts, one to send a notification to pushingbox and another to generate the Growl notification.

Thanks!

Have a simple one-line growler function that assumes more defaults and combines the register and notification steps for simple notifications.

Example

from gntp.simple import notify
# Default example assumes localhost with no password
# Internally will use GrowlNotifier and call both the register() and notify() methods
notify('ApplicationName', 'Notification Name', 'Notification Message')

Tried:

gntp -m foobar --image "http://www.givedomainnames.com/images/success_icon.png"

also tried local path to the image.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

On a OSX 10.8.2, Growl 2.0.1

With Growl 2.1.3 and gntp 1.0.2:

python -m gntp.notifier
INFO:__main__:Sending registration to localhost:23053
INFO:__main__:Sending notification [Message] to localhost:23053
ERROR:__main__:Invalid response: (u'404', u'Note Message in PythonMini was disabled by the user')

Happens every time.

The appliationIcon kwarg needs to be applicationIcon in the mini method.

I recently updated to Maverick's and I've re-installed per the instructions.

I can run "python -m gntp.notifier" over and over again and get one of 3 different error message each time. Some times, amazingly, it works with no error. I can literally just up-arrow and [return] and get a different error. 5% of the time, it works.

Here are the error variants:

• This error happens 80% of the time: ERROR:main:Invalid response: (u'303', u'Growl does not have enough information in (null) to parse')
• This error happens 10% of the time: ERROR:main:Invalid response: (u'400', u'Missing, malformed, or invalid key hash string')
• This error happens 5% of the time: ERROR:main:Invalid response: (u'400', u'Unsupported encryption type, NONE\x1b')

This was not an issue prior to upgrading.

Hi,

I'm building a small library to send notifications for successful/failed tests via GNTP. I've written a small nose plugin that when the nose suite finishes is sends the desired message.

My issue is that when a test fails the GNTP library outputs some debugging information similar to this:

-------------------- >> begin captured logging << --------------------
gntp.notifier: INFO: Sending registration to localhost:23053
gntp.notifier: DEBUG: To : localhost:23053 <<class 'gntp.GNTPRegister'>>
GNTP/1.0 REGISTER NONE
Application-Name: Success!
Origin-Platform-Version: Darwin-12.2.1-x86_64-i386-64bit
Origin-Software-Version: 0.8
Origin-Machine-Name: Bogdans-MacBook-Air.local
...
gntp.notifier: DEBUG: From : localhost:23053 <<class 'gntp.GNTPOK'>>
GNTP/1.0 -OK NONE
Response-Action: NOTIFY

Is there a way to suppress this output as it pollutes the nose output for the tests ?

Thanks and thanks for building this awesome library!

On Windows, (where I don't have Growl installed), GrowlNotifier.register seems to hang.
If I set a socket timeout so it doesn't wait forever.

Hi Paul -

gntp compiled under Voyage distro on ALIX embedded processor!

I resolved the issue, problem with password.

Thanks - Brad

Hi,

I'm a pretty big growl user on windows and have finally decided to ditch windows and move to Linux. I write a lot of python scripts that send GNTP and use the sticky = True so I never miss messages. However using your sample code only changing the sticky property I was unable to make the window stay.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, gnome classic, growl for linux 0.6.8 and python 2.7.3

Thanks,

James

Hello. I've installed Growl, GNTP and verified install using:

python -m gntp.notifier

Which displays a growl. However my script throws an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./eventcmd", line 18, in
from gntp.notifier import mini
ImportError: No module named gntp.notifier

Screenshot of script: http://dl.dpeck.net/1je9k

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also this is Yosemite, not sure if that makes a difference.

If an error or warning is generated, gntp writes a message using the 'logging' library. But the calling program just gets a not very descriptive exception. This can be remedied by creating a logging instance in the calling program like:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

Maybe this can be added to the readme?

Hello I am getting this error. Please help me. I am new to this.

import gntp.notifier
gntp.notifier.mini("Here's a quick message")

Error:

Growl error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mayukhsarkar/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gntp/notifier.py", line 197, in _send
    s.connect((self.hostname, self.port))
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mayukhsarkar/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gntp/notifier.py", line 243, in mini
    result = growl.register()
  File "/Users/mayukhsarkar/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gntp/notifier.py", line 98, in register
    return self._send('register', register)
  File "/Users/mayukhsarkar/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gntp/notifier.py", line 205, in _send
    raise errors.NetworkError(exc)
gntp.errors.NetworkError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

I couldn't get the example usage to work, until I amended it. I also recommend setting the address as localhost, as that is the most likely type of test someone will carry out first.

import gntp.notifier
growl = gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(
applicationName = "My Application Name",
notifications = ["New Updates","New Messages"],
defaultNotifications = ["New Messages"],
hostname = "localhost",
password = "foo"
)
growl.register()

result = growl.notify(
noteType = "New Messages",
title = "You have a new message",
description = "A longer message description",
icon = "http://example.com/icon.png",
sticky = False,
priority = 1
)

Looks like we're not putting on the final crlf when sending messages with binary data.

  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/gntp/notifier.py", line 178, in notify
    return self._send('notify', notice)
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/gntp/notifier.py", line 223, in _send
    recv_data = s.recv(1024)
timeout: timed out

I made a gist while testing but I want to make sure to wrap a proper test around this and test against Growl 1.4 and GfW
