A command-line utility for send mass push notifications to all registered users of an SNS platform application.

• Install easy_install: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
• Install pip: sudo easy_install pip
• Install Boto (AWS SDK for python): sudo pip install boto

Set your credentials in ~/.boto. Create the file if it dose not exist

[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = <your access key>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret key>
	
[Boto]
debug = 0
num_retries = 5

Usage: fetch_user_arns.py [-v] [-a sns_app_arn] [-g region] [-o output_file]

Region examples: us-east-1, us-west-2 etc

The output format:

arn,enabled

Note that fetching all registered arns cannot be parallelized and so would take quite a bit of time for large number of users.

Usage: masspn.py [-v] [--dry-run] [-a arns_file] [-g region] [-m message] [-s message-structure] [-n num_processes] 

Message structure must either be text or json

By default, masspn.py uses 5 processes. Specify the --dry-run option to process the entire file and make sure everything works but not send the actual notification. The script writes the output to arns_file.out.[success|failures|disabled] files, indicating the result for each arn.
