# pypushdeer — PushDeer for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 90.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

pypushdeer is a lightweight Python wrapper around the PushDeer notification service, allowing you to send push messages (text, markdown, or images) to mobile devices or other endpoints. It depends only on requests and supports Python 3.5 through 3.10. You instantiate a PushDeer client with a push key and server URL, then call methods like send_text() or send_image() to deliver messages.

The package is straightforward to install and use, with minimal friction. However, it has been abandoned since its latest release on 2022-02-13 with no updates or maintenance, so it will not receive bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates for newer Python or dependency versions.

Use it for:

- Send alert notifications from a Python application to a mobile device via PushDeer.
- Integrate push messaging into a monitoring or logging system to notify on events.
- Build a self-hosted notification delivery system using a custom PushDeer server.
- Send markdown-formatted messages with rich text from a Python script.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A Python SDK for sending push notifications through PushDeer, supporting text, markdown, and image messages to a default or self-hosted server.

Yes, if you are already committed to using PushDeer and need a simple Python client. The package is stable with no known vulnerabilities, but its abandonment means no future updates or support. Use it only for non-critical notification tasks where you can tolerate lack of maintenance; for production systems requiring active support, consider alternatives or maintain your own fork.

## Install

pip install pypushdeer
uv add pypushdeer
poetry add pypushdeer

## Installing pypushdeer

Before you install: Installation is straightforward with a single dependency (requests) and no compiled components. However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2022-02-13, with no active maintenance or updates since then.

License in practice: Licensed under MIT (permissive), so you can use, modify, and distribute it freely with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install pypushdeer

from pypushdeer import PushDeer

pushdeer = PushDeer(pushkey="your_push_key")
pushdeer.send_text("hello world", desp="optional description")

Requires a valid PushDeer push key and network access to the PushDeer server (default or self-hosted).

Verify before relying:

- Whether the PushDeer service itself is still operational and maintained upstream.
- Compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.10 and current versions of requests.
- Whether the package handles network errors, timeouts, or server unavailability gracefully.
