2. Technical Description:
2.1. Details:
Python notify is a python binding for libnotfy. It provides
notification support via libnotify for desktop applications written
in python that need a way to notify users that some asynchronous
event has happened without getting in the user's way.
Currently, only desktop applications written in c can provide
notification support via libnotify. With python notify, desktop
applications written in python can provide notification support too.
Python notify is released under LGPLv2.1.
Its homepage is at http://www.galago-project.org.
