+Py3status plugin - shows current window title.
+
+Requires:
+    - i3-py (https://github.com/ziberna/i3-py)
+    # pip install i3-py
+
+If payload from server contains wierd utf-8
+(for example one window have something bad in title) - the plugin will
+give empty output UNTIL this window is closed.
+I can't fix or workaround that in PLUGIN, problem is in i3-py library.
