enkore db94df07a3 With small changes, comes great change Introduced asynchronous plugins that gather their data on different intervals than the mainloop. Here it is used for the modsde plugin. The statushandler has a new class Module, which acts as documentation for the API These changes let the output evenly flow, even if an async plugin hangs due to network problems or similiar issues.		2013-02-11 21:01:38 +01:00

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
cp wrapper.py.dist wrapper.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    i3status | python ~/.config/i3status/contrib/wrapper.py
    position          top
    workspace_buttons yes
}

And finally adjust the settings in ~/.config/i3status/contrib/wrapper.py as you like.

Modules

thunderbirdnewmail

Requires

python-dbus
python-gobject2

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.
