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) |

i3pystatus
i3pystatus is a (hopefully growing) collection of python scripts for status output compatible to i3status / i3bar of the i3 window manager.
Installation
To install it, follow these steps:
cd ~/.config/i3status/
git clone git@github.com:janoliver/i3pystatus contrib
cd contrib/i3pystatus
cp __main__.py.dist __main__.py
Add the following to ~/.config/i3status/config:
general {
output_format = "i3bar"
colors = true
interval = 5
}
Change your i3wm config to the following:
# i3bar
bar {
status_command cd ~/.config/i3status/contrib ; i3status | python -m i3pystatus
position top
workspace_buttons yes
}
And finally adjust the settings in ~/.config/i3status/contrib/i3pystatus/__main__.py
as you like.

Contribute
To contribute a script, make sure it has a function output() that outputs
valid json code that can be interpreted by i3status. The protocol is documented
here: i3status Protocol.
Please add an example for how to configure it to wrapper.py.dist. It should be
a python class that can be registered with the I3StatusHandler class.
