Getting started

Installing Windows-Toasts

The latest version of Windows-Toasts requires Python 3.9 or later, and supports Windows 10 and 11.

It can be installed using pip:

$ python -m pip install windows-toasts

Install from source

The stable release version will most likely include the library’s latest developments, but you can also install it directly from GitHub, where the code is hosted.

First, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/DatGuy1/Windows-Toasts.git

You can then embed it in your own Python package, or install it into your site-packages:

$ cd Windows-Toasts
$ python -m pip install .

Quickstart

To display a toast notification:

# We import WindowsToaster and a toast format we want
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, Toast
# Prepare the toaster for bread (or your notification)
toaster = WindowsToaster('Python')
# Initialise the toast
newToast = Toast()
# Set the body of the notification
newToast.text_fields = ['Hello, World!']
# And display it!
toaster.show_toast(newToast)
