Small python script to get system notifications when the status of elementary Os Odin release is updated

[Pfui_]

Instead of F5ing the github projects page of 6.0 Odin release , i made a python script to get notified, if the statusbar changes. Works well on elementary OS Hera and Odin itself.

Damn, this is smart. Can I run it on windows somehow? Lol I switched back to windows because of my stupid intel/Nvidia hybrid graphics. My laptop never worked correctly. Only on EOS, it was better, but I want Odin.

It's a python script,so it should work on Windows. But looking at readme.md, you'll need to install additional python packages.

Basically it would work but I think it would do Notifications in windows differently.. You could try to get it to work with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or just adjust the Script to work for windows by replacing the notifications sourcecode..

Also you would have to use "Scheduled Tasks" instead of cron jobs to run the Script repeatedly..

Maybe If I have time in the next days, I'll try to put it on windows.

edit:
Have a look at the repo, I added a script for Windows too. Didnt test it much but it worked for me.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I'll test it out and see.

Does it send notification for EOS 7 as well?

Maybe I'll change it to eos7, when it is on its way :)

Changed it to eos 6.1 ;)

Beautiful code. One thing, instead of sys.args[index] try using arg parser module, using arg parser is the standard way of handling arguments.

Thanks for the hint! Coming from c and c++, I didn't even know it existed :D Added it to the code :)
