  • To receive notifications, you have to have Growl 0.6 or above installed (which you can get directly from their site or bundled with apps such as Adium).
  • The module does not send notifications by itself - it simply helps you format the packets, which are easy to send using trivial socket() calls.
  • so make sure you have "Allow application registration" enabled on Growl's preference pane. And, of course, make sure you set a password.
  • addr = ("192.168.0.42", GROWL_UDP_PORT) s = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM) p = GrowlRegistrationPacket(application="Network Demo", password="secret") p.addNotification("Stuff I Want To Know", enabled=True) p.addNotification("Stuff I Might Not Want To Know") # But Can Enable In The GUI s.sendto(p.payload(), addr)
  • p = GrowlNotificationPacket(application="Network Demo",  notification="Stuff I Want To Know", title="The Knights Who Say Ni",  description="We Want... a Shrubbery!!!", priority=1,  sticky=True, password="secret") s.sendto(p.payload(),addr) s.close()

  • Network Protocol Format

     

    The 0.6 protocol format is fairly straightforward, and the registration and notification packets look like this:

     

    You can get this diagram in OpenOffice format here

     

    The flags field contains a signed 3-bit value (-2 to 2) and a sticky flag in the lowest (rightmost) nibble (check the code below to figure it out).
