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:
* https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki/Write-your-own-modules
Get help or share your ideas on IRC:
* channel **#py3status** on **FreeNode**
## 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"
}
## Usage
In your i3 config file, simply switch from `i3status` to `py3status` in your `status_command`:
status_command py3status
Usually you have your own i3status configuration, just point to it:
status_command py3status -c ~/.i3/i3status.conf
## Installation
### Pypi
py3status is available on pypi:
$ pip install py3status
### Gentoo Linux
py3status is available on portage:
$ sudo emerge -a py3status
### Arch Linux
Thanks to @waaaaargh, py3status is present in the Arch User Repository using this URL:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/py3status-git/
## 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
