notify when execution/command is completed

Question

How do I get IPython to notify me when a command has been executed? Can I get it to use the bell/alert, or by pop-up? I\'m running Anaconda on iTerm on OS X 10.8.5.

Answer 1

Finally someone created a nice library for it.

You just install it:

pip install jupyternotify

Import it in your notebook:

import jupyternotify
ip = get_ipython()
ip.register_magics(jupyternotify.JupyterNotifyMagics)

and use a magic command:

%%notify
import time
time.sleep(5)

and get a nice notification:

Git-page also shows how to load it automatically.
