Display native GNOME notifications for a remote Weechat session via relay.
Weelisten uses Weechat's relay plugin in combination with python3 asyncio and libnotify to display GNOME notification on your desktop for running Weechat sessions. This is particularly helpful if you run Weehcat in a remote screen or tmux session and would like notifications on your desktop.
Weelisten requires python3-notify2. This package is named python3-notify2 in debian/ubuntu
and python-notify2 in the Arch Linux AUR. Alternatively you can install it using pip: pip install -r requirements.txt
First make sure your weechat relay is up and available. Then clone the repo and launch the client:
client.py <host> <password>
You may also specify a custom port (default is 9001) with the -p paramter, or
disable ssl using -s. Use --help to see all options.
The provided wchat.sh script demonstrates a way to start the listener, attach
to a remote Weechat, then kill the listener once the session is killed.
Thanks to k0rmarun I was able to shamelessy rip off the weechat relay protocol code, as it was a huge pain to parse.
