A Push Notification Service, written in Python, handling Apple APNS, and Google GCM.

Pulsus configuration file over at /home/example/etc/pulsus/pulsus.conf::

[server]
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 8321

[apns:sandbox]
cert_file_pem = /home/example/etc/pulsus/apns-dev.pem

[apns]
cert_file_pem = /home/example/etc/pulsus/apns.pem

[gcm]
api_key=AIzaSyATHISISSECRET

A logging.conf file is required to be present in the same directory. Then, start as follows::

/home/example/virtualenv/bin/python -m pulsus.server.serve /home/example/etc/pulsus/

Export your certificate from Keychain in .p12 format. Then::

openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -out apns.pem -nodes

Client::

from pulsus.client import Client
from pulsus.services.apns import APNSNotification
from pulsus.services.gcm import GCMJSONMessage

android_message = GCMJSONMessage(
    registration_ids=['APA91bF....zLnytKBQ'],
    data={'message': 'Hello World!'})

ios_message = APNSNotification(
    token='676be1c77...',
    sandbox=True,
    alert='Helo World!')])

client = Client('127.0.0.1', 8321)
client.push([android_message, ios_message])

Even while this project may seem a bit inactive when looking at public repository, do note that this project has been (and still is) running rock solid in production for several years now.

2019-05-09 update: After reaching almost 100M push notifications this project has finally been retired. It was due for an upgrade as it was still using the legacy binary APNS protocol. However, as over time the technology stack changed to Golang, it has been completely rewritten see: Shove <https://gitlab.com/pennersr/shove>_
