#!/usr/bin/env python
from Foundation import NSUserNotification
from Foundation import NSUserNotificationCenter
from Foundation import NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName
from optparse import OptionParser
def main():
parser = OptionParser(usage='%prog -t TITLE -m MESSAGE')
parser.add_option('-t', '--title', action='store', default='A title')
parser.add_option('-m', '--message', action='store', default='...')
parser.add_option('--no-sound', action='store_false', default=True,
dest='sound')
options, args = parser.parse_args()
notification = NSUserNotification.alloc().init()
notification.setTitle_(options.title)
notification.setInformativeText_(options.message)
if options.sound:
notification.setSoundName_(NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName)
center = NSUserNotificationCenter.defaultUserNotificationCenter()
center.deliverNotification_(notification)
