push

Twitter as a Push Notification Service

pip install push

Usage

$ push Hey, don't forget that one thing. -- (sent from the command line)

Or, as a distributed form of Growl...

$ ssh aws
$ sh reallylongscript.sh && push Alright, you're all set. || push Something went wrong!

What is this?

Basically, this is a simple script that combines the powers of foauth, requests, and a private Twitter account into push notifications from the command line. Before using, there are three important environment variables you'll need to set.

export FOAUTH_USER="myfoauthemail@me.com"
export FOAUTH_PASS="foauth_password"
export PUSH_TWITTER="@zachwill"

You'll also need to sign up for a new (and most likely private) Twitter account, and connect that with your foauth account.
