client = notifier.NotifierClient()
client.start_server_maybe()

pre_msg = message_types.Simple(
    summary='Some summary',
    body='And some body',
)

table_msg = message_types.Table(
    body=range(100),
    columns=('Col 1', 'Col 2', 'Col 3', 'Col 4'),
)

notification_id = client.new_window(pre_msg, table_msg, pre_msg,
                                    position='northeast')
client.timeout(timeout=10.0, notification_id=notification_id)

# client.kill_server()
