pyapns is a self-hosted Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) provider built on Twisted, exposing an XML-RPC interface plus native Python and Ruby client APIs. It supports provisioning multiple applications with separate certificates and sandbox/production environments, and provides a simplified feedback interface.

Use cases

send push notifications to iOS devices from my server
self-host an APNS provider for multiple apps
send Apple push notifications via XML-RPC from any language
manage sandbox and production APNS certificates for several apps
get device token feedback for failed push notifications
integrate push notifications into a Django or Rails app

When to choose

you need a persistent, self-hosted APNS gateway serving multiple iOS apps
you want to send push notifications from any language via XML-RPC
you use Python (Django/Pylons) or Ruby (Rails/Rack) and want a native client API

When to avoid

you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2017
you want HTTP/2-based APNS with token authentication (modern APNS requirement)
you prefer a managed push service like Firebase Cloud Messaging or SNS
you need Android or web push support
