HTML file that opens Pythonista, where a specified script is executed, while the browser window closes in the background. This serves as workaround for IFTTT's lack of support for custom URL schemes in the URL parameter of Pushover's Channel.

How do you use this file? I'm guessing it's so when you get a Pushover notification on your phone, you can swipe and have it launch a Pythonista script?

@bentsai Unfortunately, swiping a notification on the Lock Screen only opens Pushover. You then have to manually open the notification, and then, finally, you can follow the link.
