# This is an example module to be used as a template.
# See https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki/Write-your-own-modules
# for more details.
#
# NOTE: py3status will NOT execute:
#     - methods starting with '_'
#     - methods decorated by @property and @staticmethod
# 
# NOTE: reserved method names:
#     - 'kill' method for py3status exit notification
#     - 'on_click' method for click events from i3bar (read below please)
#
# Do NOT use print on your modules: py3status will catch any output and discard 
# it silently because this would break your i3bar (see issue #20 for details). 
# Make sure you catch any output from any external program you may call 
# from your module. Any output from an external program cannot be caught and 
# silenced by py3status and will break your i3bar so please, redirect any 
# stdout/stderr to /dev/null for example (see issue #20 for details). 
# 
# Fill in the following docstring: it will beparsed py3status to document
# your module:
