Notify2 provides a Python interface to the Freedesktop notifications system, which allows programs to display information to the user in an unobtrusive way. Notifications are sent over DBus to a notification daemon, which is responsible for presenting them to the user.

notify2 is intended as a replacement for pynotify (package python-notify), and its interface is largely copied from there, although it isn't a complete clone.

This is the Python 2 version of the package.
