How to fix notify2 'dbus' error in Python 3 on Windows 10
The notify2
library relies on the dbus
module, which is not natively available on Windows. Therefore, you will encounter an error when trying to use notify2
on Windows 10.
To work around this issue and use desktop notifications in Python on Windows 10, you can use the win10toast
library instead. win10toast
provides a simple way to display native toast notifications on Windows 10 without relying on dbus
.
You can install win10toast
using pip
:
pip install win10toast
Here's an example of how to use win10toast
to display a notification:
pythonfrom win10toast import ToastNotifier
# Create an instance of the ToastNotifier
toaster = ToastNotifier()
# Display a notification
toaster.show_toast("Notification Title", "Notification Message", duration=10)
In this example, the ToastNotifier
class creates an instance of the toast notification system. You can then use the show_toast
method to display a notification with the specified title and message. The duration
parameter determines how long the notification will be displayed in seconds.
Note that win10toast
is specifically designed for Windows 10 and may not work on other operating systems. If you need cross-platform compatibility, you may need to consider using a different library or framework that supports notifications on multiple platforms.
