Package: hplip-gui
Version: 3.14.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

hplip-gui currently recommends python-notify, which in turn depends on
python-gtk. Both python-gtk and python-notify are obsolete and we are
going to remove them at some point. Also, none of these packages supports
Python 3, so if you will ever switch to Python 3, you need to get rid
of python-notify usage first.

The recommended alternative is python-notify2, which is a lightweight
pure-Python interface to notification protocol. It was designed to be
as compatible with python-notify as possible, so porting is very easy.

See http://sources.debian.net/src/python-notify2/0.3-2/notify2.py/#L18
for details.

Another alternative will be using libnotify via gobject-introspection.

Both these alternatives are modern, supported, and Python 3 compatible.
