py3status 3.59

py3status

py3status is an extensible i3status wrapper written in Python.
Using py3status, you can take control of your i3bar easily by:

using one of the available
modules
shipped with py3status
grouping multiple modules and automatically or manually cycle their
display
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!
About
You will love py3status if you're using i3wm
(or sway) and are frustrated by the i3status
limitations on your i3bar such as:

you cannot hack into it easily
you want more than the built-in modules and their limited configuration
you cannot pipe the result of one of more scripts or commands in your bar easily

Philosophy

no added configuration file, use the standard i3status.conf
rely on i3status' strengths and its existing configuration as much as possible
be extensible, it must be easy for users to add their own
stuff/output by writing a simple python class which will be loaded
and executed dynamically
easily allow interactivity with the i3bar
add some built-in enhancement/transformation of basic i3status modules output

We apply the Zen of py3status to improve this project and encourage everyone to read it!

Installation

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

Options
You can see the help of py3status by issuing `py3status -h`:
usage: py3status [-h] [-b] [-c FILE] [-d] [-g] [-i PATH] [-l FILE] [-s]
[-t INT] [-m] [-u PATH] [-v] [--wm WINDOW_MANAGER]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b, --dbus-notify send notifications via dbus instead of i3-nagbar
(default: False)
-c, --config FILE load config (default: /home/alexys/.i3/i3status.conf)
-d, --debug enable debug logging in syslog and --log-file
(default: False)
-i, --include PATH append additional user-defined module paths (default:
None)
-l, --log-file FILE enable logging to FILE (default: None)
-s, --standalone run py3status without i3status (default: False)
-t, --timeout INT default module cache timeout in seconds (default: 60)
-m, --disable-click-events
disable all click events (default: False)
-u, --i3status PATH specify i3status path (default: /usr/bin/i3status)
-v, --version show py3status version and exit (default: False)
--wm WINDOW_MANAGER specify window manager i3 or sway (default: i3)

Available modules
All modules
shipped with py3status are configurable directly from your current i3status.conf!
Check them out
to see all the configuration options.
Control from CLI
Just like i3status, you can force an update of your i3bar by sending a
SIGUSR1 signal to py3status. Note that this will also send a SIGUSR1
signal to i3status:
killall -USR1 py3status

To refresh individual modules, the
py3-cmd
utility can be used, e.g:
py3-cmd refresh wifi
