Tool to send Slack messages
PyPI package: ppslack
Feel free to open a GitHub issue if you spot a problem or have an improvement idea. I will be happy to look into it for you.
The package is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:
$ pip install --user ppslack
$ ppslack --help
Once installed, a command line tool ppslack will be available in your system's PATH.
By default, the tool reads its configuration from ~/.config/ppslack file (the
location can be overridden by setting environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
The config file should look like this:
[default]
slack_key=xxx
email_domain=example.com
$ ppslack --help
usage: ppslack [--version] [--help] [--debug] [--verbose] [-f SENDER] -t RECIPIENTS [RECIPIENTS ...] [-s SUBJECT] [-H]
