ClassFinder:
Removed exclude argument, which is basically covered with
obj.__module__ == module.__name__ which ensures that no imported
classes are found, which was the only use case for exclude.
This didn't change the public "API" used by modules.
.core.io contains the IO classes, namely IOHandler, StandaloneIO and JSONIO
.core.util contains SettingsBase and ClassFinder
.core.exceptions contains all custom exceptions
You can now pass a module (the Python thing, e.g. modsde) into register
and it will just "do the right thing" (find a class derived from Module
in that module and instanciate it with any extra arguments)
Specify standalone=True to the I3statushandler constructor
to run i3pystatus without i3status in the background.
i3pystatus won't read input from stdin or any other
file object specified with input_stream.
The keyword argument interval specifies how often output should
be generated. The default is 1 (second).
Sorry guys for changing the way i3pystatus "way of operation"
is set so often. If you're want the "self-contained" mode
(you execute i3pystatus, i3pystatus automatically starts
i3status), don't set the file attribute, but pass the file
descriptor of the pipe as input_stream like this:
process = subprocess.Popen(["i3status", "-c", "~/.i3/status"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
status = i3pystatus(input_stream=process.stdout)
On a side note:
The main class name has been changed to i3pystatus, but I3statusHandler
is still available as an alias. Use whichever you prefer :-)
(Linux is about choice after all)
If one wants to run i3status as a subprocess of
i3pystatus, do it like this:
import subprocess
import io
...
process = subprocess.Popen(["i3status", "-c", "~/.i3/status"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
stdin = io.TextIOWrapper(process.stdout)
status = I3statusHandler(stdin)
