history

Project history and usage

notifiers is a Python library and CLI that provides a unified interface for sending notifications through many third-party providers. It is aimed at developers who want notifications in scripts, applications, or logging without writing separate integrations for every provider.

Project history

The PyPI release history starts with 0.1 uploaded on 2017-08-03. Repository tag history shows the same early 0.x period, a v1.0.0 tag on 2018-08-07, a 1.2.0 tag on 2019-07-25, and later 1.3.x work. PyPI metadata for the checked package showed 1.3.6 uploaded on 2025-05-17.

The project appears in source metadata as liiight/notifiers and in the package input as github.com/notifiers/notifiers; the PyPI project URLs point at github.com/liiight/notifiers. The Homebrew formula packages the Python distribution as a command named notifiers.

Adoption history

Adoption is primarily Python-library adoption rather than Homebrew adoption. The README advertises PyPI, Docker, Read the Docs, and a Pepy downloads badge, while Homebrew's formula JSON reported 299 installs over the 365-day window. That suggests Homebrew is a convenience install path, not the main distribution channel.

How it is used

The core Python usage is get_notifier('pushover') or notify('pushover', ...), returning a provider-specific NotificationResponse through a common API. The CLI exposes provider commands such as notifiers pushover notify, and the logging integration lets users attach a NotificationHandler to Python's standard logging module so errors can trigger notifications.

Supported providers listed by the README include Pushover, SimplePush, Slack, Gmail, SMTP email, Telegram, Gitter, Pushbullet, Join, Zulip, Twilio, PagerDuty, Mailgun, StatusPage.io, iCloud, VictorOps/Splunk On-Call, and Notify.

Why package nerds care

notifiers matters as glue: it trades deep provider-specific features for a stable, script-friendly facade over many notification APIs. For package people, it is also a reminder that the same project can be packaged as a Python library, a CLI, a Docker image, and a Homebrew formula.
