notify-more - an advanced notify-send

[Rory McCann]

Hi all,

I really like libnotify, especially the notify-send command line tool.
However notify-send cannot do actions. So wrote a simple python
programme called notify-more. It's a command line programme like
notify-send, but it allows you to specify actions on the command line.
It's available at http://rory.netsoc.ucd.ie/linux/notify-more/. Any
blog entries I write on this will be at
http://rory.netsoc.ucd.ie/blog/category/notify-more/.

Feedback is welcomed. And while developing this I had trouble figuring
out how to use pynotify, The pynotify examples here:
http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/1901 helped a lot.

That's cool, but I must ask, why not just extend notify-send to be more useful? This would benefit people without making yet another generic notification sender tool that people would have to depend on and package.

The main reason was because I know Python much better than C/glib. And
I was able to rely on the python examples at
http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/1901. This was mainly something I wanted
for myself and I would have been able to write it quicker starting
from scratch in python using those examples than extending
notify-send.
