Few month ago I decided I wanted to learn Python, so I set myself up a project.

Lately it's been consuming most of my spare time as I cram to get as much as I can done to get a stable release out. While not there yet it's at least starting to take shape and is useful without being too buggy :D

If you run a Plex Media Server you may be interested in checking it out: https://github.com/drzoidberg33/plexpy

It's a Python based monitoring tool for Plex which does logging, notifications and general information as well as some analytics (mostly still in the pipeline).

The backend codebase is heavily borrowed from original Couchpotato project which was then borrowed by Headphones. Frontend stuff is borrowed from PlexWatch Web but I'm slowing starting to rewrite a lot of that too.

All you need to run it is Python 2.6 or 2.7 (doesn't run on Python 3.x). It has a built-in updater too if you clone directly using Git.

Still plenty of work to be done, but thought I'd put it out here as I know we have a lot of Plex users around. The "official" thread is on the Plex forums here: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/169591/plexpy-another-plex-monitoring-program

Here are some screenshots:

Pushed a bunch of new functionality and some bug fixes since my first post. Notifications are now quite functional and customisable.
