py3status
=========
py3status is an extensible i3status wrapper written in python
Documentation
=========
See the wiki for up to date documentation : https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki
Requirements
=========
You must set the `output_format` to `i3bar` in the general section of your i3status.conf:
::
general {
output_format = "i3bar"
}
Installation (all users)
=========
py3status is available on pypi:
::
$ pip install py3status
Installation (Gentoo users)
=========
Add the `ultrabug` overlay on layman:
::
$ sudo layman -a ultrabug
Install py3status:
::
$ 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
-d disable integrated transformations
-i INCLUDE_PATH include user-written modules from those directories (default .i3/py3status)
-n INTERVAL update interval in seconds (default 1 sec)
-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
