To send a notification to your desktop using Python, you will need to install the following library: Plyer.

Plyer is a Python library for accessing features of your hardware/platforms.

Install Plyer using the following command:

pip install plyer

Open a new Python file and start by importing notification from plyer:

from plyer import notification

On the next line call notification.notify specifying the title of your notification, the message and how long you want the notification to display for (timeout):

notification.notify( 
	title = "Hello World!", 
	message= "My test msg!", 
	# displaying time 
  timeout=10 
)

When you run this Python script, you should be able to see your notification on screen:

That’s it for how to Send a desktop notification using Python
