Notification not working on Windows

Currently I am using the plyer API to send notifications to windows/linux/etc, however on windows this will not work due to an error. I have not tested this on other OS’s, however I’d like a multiplatform solution since I might use my program elsewhere.

I am currently using windows 10 and the latest plyer installed by pip (python 3.6.1), and use the following code plus relevant stack trace:

plyer.notification.notify("Removed {} from downloads".format(path), "Hash: " + data[self.directory][path]["hash"])

  File "C:\Users\NotRelevant\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\plyer\platforms\win\libs\balloontip.py", line 145, in balloon_tip
    WindowsBalloonTip(**kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ticker'

As you can see I am not using the ticker argument, so something went wrong in the internal API.

I wrote since X commit, which means your installation has to have that commit. PyPI wouldn’t, because that’s the stable version of plyer. You can install it with:

pip install -I https://github.com/kivy/plyer/zipball/master

About the arguments, I put there **kwargs because I have no knowledge about ticker being available on Windows, therefore only the explicitly required args will be used and whatever else will be collected into kwargs dictionary.

I’m having the same issue, using the pip version. Windows 10, Python 3.6.2.

from plyer import notification as n
n.notify(title='title', message='m', ticker='r')

from plyer import notification as n
n.notify(title='title', message='m')
