-py3status
-=========
-**py3status** is an extensible i3status wrapper written in python.
-
-Using py3status, you can take control of your i3bar easily by:
- - writing your own modules and have their output displayed on your bar
- - handling click events on your i3bar and play with them in no time
- - seeing your clock tick every second whatever your i3status interval
-
-No extra configuration file needed, just install & enjoy !
-
-Documentation
-=============
-See the wiki for up to date documentation:
- https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki
-
-Learn how to write your own modules:

-
-Requirements
-============
-You **must** set the `output_format` to `i3bar` in the general section of your i3status.conf:
-::
- general {
- colors = true
- interval = 5
- output_format = "i3bar"
- }
-
-Installation (all users)
-========================
-py3status is available on pypi:
-::
- $ pip install py3status
-
-Installation (Gentoo users)
-===========================
-py3status is available on portage:
-::
- $ sudo emerge -a py3status
-
-Installation (Arch users)
-=========================
-Thanks to @waaaaargh, py3status is present in the Arch User Repository using this URL:
-::
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/py3status-git/
-
-Usage
-=====
-In your i3 config file, simply change the `status_command` with:
-::
- status_command py3status
-
-Usually you have your own i3status configuration, just point to it:
-::
- status_command py3status -c ~/.i3/i3status.conf
-
-Options
-=======
-You can see the help of py3status by issuing `py3status -h`:
-::
- -c I3STATUS_CONF path to i3status config file
- --debug be verbose in syslog
- -i INCLUDE_PATHS include user-written modules from those directories
- (default .i3/py3status)
- -n INTERVAL update interval in seconds (default 1 sec)
- -s, --standalone standalone mode, do not use i3status
- -t CACHE_TIMEOUT default injection cache timeout in seconds
- (default 60 sec)
-
-Control
-=======
-Just like i3status, you can force an update by sending a SIGUSR1 signal to py3status.
-Note that this will also send a SIGUSR1 signal to i3status.
-::
- killall -USR1 py3status
