+"""
+Display output of given script
+
+Display output of any executable script set by script_path
+Pay attention. The output must be one liner, or will break your i3status
+The script should not have any parameters, but it could work
+
+Configuration parameters:
+    - cache_timeout : how often we refresh this module in seconds
+    - script_path   : script you want to show output of (compulsory)
+    - color         : color of printed text
+    - on_click      : read goo.gl/u10n0x
