Notify is a light-weight utility for task completion notifications in Python. It was designed to be be free of dependencies beyond the standard library, and also to avoid interaction with expensive APIs.
Setup is straigtforward, and is outlined in some detail under Setup. Notify was intended to be simple and understandable enough that modifications could be easily implemented––although the batteries-included version should suit most needs.
Once set up, notify is used as a decorator function.
from NotifyModule.notify import notify
@notify
def inefficient_code(n=28433):
big_num = n * efficient_exponenentiation(2, 7830457) + 1
return str(big_num)[-10:]After the code runs, a text message will be sent to you. In this case, the default message would read:
Finished running 'inefficient_code(28433)' on your machine.

Notify also works with an arbitrary number of arguments:
@notify
def find_all_monotonically_increasing(*args)
return sum([1 for seq in permutations(args) if monotonic(seq)]) To set up Notify, clone this repository into the directory containing the project you wish to add it to. Ultimately, your directory should be structured as such:
project
| README.md
| yourcode.py
|
|___NotifyModule
| __init__.py
| notify.py
| info.json
| README.md
After your directory has been made to resemble the one above, edit info.json so that it contains information that is relevant to your accounts. This includes adding your mobile number, some carrier information, and also some email information. WARNING: since this file contains information sensitive to your accounts, it is advised that you treat it very carefully!
Finally, make sure that the email account that you've linked allows access to outside applications. In Gmail, you must change your preferences to allow "less secure" applications to interact with your account.
